knee surgery

Speed-skating ace Cindy Klassen announced today she’s sitting out the current World Cup season, to allow herself a full recovery from surgery in July on both knees. She decided it would be folly to rush back into competition, just to catch the end of the competitive season. “I haven’t had any setbacks and I don’t want to have any,” she said in a media conference call. “If I push it too hard, who knows what could happen?”
