And yet she was on the threshold of a door that could have led to at least some semblance of an "answer" when she made the observation that breakdowns almost never happen because of one bad step but that the trainer Giddings would never push the envelope (which looking at it from a strictly objective angle is a bit presumptuous IMO).

But let's just take it for granted that the trainer didn't ignore any obvious signs of physical problems. Given that, if a breakdown is almost always preceded by a pre-existing lesion then in many cases the signs of impending injury are either very subtle, transient, or subclinical & therefore very difficult to detect. Had Voss followed this line of reasoning, she could have segued into campaigning for the need for the widespread use of advanced diagnostic imaging currently available (& sometimes required) in precious few jurisdictions around the world that have been shown to identify these previously "under the radar" hot spots.

But instead, she chose to be a drama queen. Not surprising to be honest, her "pieces" in the past year or so have been mostly wannabe investigative journalism focused on topics that tear down the sport as a whole. Pretty sure she thinks she's "trying out" for some mass media gig or something...

THX Rollo.. You're the tops.

And 100% on the disguised concern for game's well being as auditions for another gig.
