Adelina Sotnikova out with leg injury
And now with that, staying on ice but over to figure skating. Now Russia's Adelina Sotnikova, who won the much-talked-about gold medal during the Sochi Winter Games earlier this year, hasn't competed internationally since then, and it seems like that's going to be the case for the rest of the year. Now, with a Grand Prix event coming up on the 14th, the Russian figure skater has been ruled out for three weeks after reinjuring her leg during training. She expressed her disappointment on her SNS page, as reports also indicate that she might be out for the rest of the year due to the cast on her leg.
