Get Well Abby

Calling the world's-best striker tough seems like the understatement of the century. Last week, Abby collided with a Brazilian defender and suffered a double fracture. An injury which has taken her off the field, while the rest of her team makes their way to Beijing.

As you can see in the video, Abby maintained her strong composure while being carried off the field. In a post-operative interview, she said, "I surely didn't want to affect the competitiveness on the field...I know what it takes to win a gold medal and I know that one person isn't going to be the answer."

Rest assured, Abby will make her comeback. And we're here to support her as she recovers.

Get well Abby.
