Karina Smirnoff Might Not Be Returning To Dancing With The Stars This Season
Is it possible Karina Smirnoff might not return for this season of Dancing With The Stars? E Online updates us. Here is a take below. You can also listen to Tony Dovolani talk on the link.
The professional dancer might not be returning to Dancing With the Stars this season after suffering a “serious” injury during rehearsals on Sunday, costar Tony Dovolani, who was with Karina when she went to the hospital, told E! News after Monday night’s show.
So what exactly happened that led to Karina’s hospitalization?
“She went to wet her shoes so that we could have better traction…she slipped and ran into the stairs with her shin, her arm,” Dovolani recalled. “I was so afraid because I saw half of it, basically on her way down. I thought she would hit her face or neck or anything like that, so luckily she didn’t.”
*Lots of prayers to Karina and a speedy recovery!
Thoughts and prayers to Karina for a speedy and safe recovery.
Oh no! 🙁 Sounds like Karina had a nasty fall; but I’m relieved it wasn’t even more serious. Hopefully, she’ll take plenty of time to heal and rest-up so she’ll be back in “fighting form” for next season!
I was looking for Karina on Monday’s show and was surprised not to see her. Now I know why.
So sorry about you accident Karina. Keeping you in my prayers and hoping for a speedy recovery. We love and miss you.
I saw a picture on instagram of her leg and it’s looks terrible! 🙁 I would rather she took the time off to relax and recover properly. Best wishes to her!
A+ to everything you said Jim. Hope Karina has a restful and happy recovery.
I am so sorry to hear this about Karina. I agree with everyone who has said that it’s best for her to take the rest of the season off to heal and relax. Looking forward to her comeback next season.
That sucks – she’s my favorite dancer and I love even just seeing her in the pro numbers. Hope she recovers quickly and returns to the show with Russell Wilson as her partner – although I’d rather the Bears beat the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game (not likely, though) haha!
