These ladies and gentlemen are stronger than I am - my prayers are for their safety in every competition: Bartlett in blue; Frederick in red; Photo Credit: Doug Benc / Getty ImagesPhoto Credit: Doug Benc / Getty ImagesExerpt from The North Wind Online (Student Newspaper for Northern Michigan University): Both Bartlett and Frederick had their competitions hampered by injuries incurred during Friday evening's 1000-meter D finals. Frederick tried to pass on one of the final laps but lost an edge around a turn, sliding into Bartlett and carrying both into the rink's padded boards. "She set up a pass and there wasn't enough room, when we came around the turn she was too close," Bartlett said of the incident. "When she fell, there was no way I could have avoided it." The competition was stopped as medical personnel tended to the two athletes. Bartlett sprained her back in the collision and Frederick fractured her collarbone. Frederick underwent surgery on Wednesday. While Frederick did not return to competition, Bartlett was able to earn points in the remaining events.

Tamara competed at American Cup 3 in Midland, MI (February 12-13, 2011). She won her 1500M Semifinal, qualifying for the A Final, but she didn’t start in that race, and didn’t race again all weekend(?) She finished 14th overall. Hope you’re okay, Tamara… Tags: Tamara Frederick / Short Track Speedskating

Tamara skated in AmCup 2 - Cleveland, OH (Oct 29-30, 2011). After finishing 2nd in the 1500M, she had a ‘Did Not Start’ in the 500M Semis, then she skated all the way to the B Final in the 1000M, then another DNS in the Superfinal. Does anybody know what happened? Here are her results: 6th Overall 1500M - 2nd (A Final) 500M - DNS (Semifinal) 1000M - 4th (B Final) 1500M Superfinal - DNS (Semifinal) Tamara skates at AmCup 2.

Tamara skated in her first-ever World Cup in Nagoya, Japan (Dec 2-4, 2011) and IMO had a very respectable showing, making it to the quarterfinals in her first distance... also, in the 500M Repechage heats, Tamara accomplished that most-difficult of feats in ST - a last-to-first race in the 500M! Here are her results:
1500M – Not Entered 1000M(1) – Heats (2nd); QF (4th) 500M – Heats (5th); Repechage Heats (1st); Rep SF (4th) 1000M(2) – Not Entered 3000M Relay – Not Entered
'Wish I had a pic of Tamara, but I couldn't find one...
