Jen did do fitness and did injured herself. Carla used to do fitness as well and is trying her hand at figure for the first time at this show.
From an interview with Jen at
http://www.coloradoproshow.com/forum/index.htmlQ. You suffered a near career ending injury, care to explain?A. On October 1, 2005, what would be my debut as a Pro Fitness Guest Poser, I was warming up my routine when the inevitable happened. Performing a skill I had done a million times in 6 inch boots (when dancing with the Houston Rockets Power Dancers), barefoot I went into the air twisting and before I knew it, landed and was on the ground. I knew it instantly, I had torn my ACL! The most excruciating pain!! I knew this was not good for my fitness career, but all I could think about was all the training put into that show and the 8 yr. old little girl, LeeAnn Thompson, who was depending on me to do the show with her. I made some changes to the routine and the the show went on!! A week later, I had the surgery and the next day, started rehabilitation. I knew competing in Fitness for 2006 was not an option, but I had to get back out on the competition stage. So, this competition being my first Pro Show and my first time back on the competition floor, means the world to me. I could have ended my career just then, but I have too much heart, passion and dedication to finish what I've started. So, I'm very glad to have the opportunity to compete in Pro Figure this year.
