Karen Paquin happy to be back with Canada’s women’s rugby sevens squad Globe_Sports
“The morale is super-high,” said Paquin. “We’re excited obviously to play at home and play in front of fans and our family and friends but at the same time we’re pretty focused on what we have to do and the task at hand.”With the top four teams in the season standings securing automatic Olympic qualification, Canada could punch its ticket to Tokyo on the weekend given Langford is the penultimate stop on the six-event World Rugby Women’s Series.
She enjoys showing off the medal to kids when she talks at schools. “It’s really nice to have that and be able to share it with the young ones, especially.” “The long haul started from there, with the ups and downs of not really knowing what was happening and why it wasn’t healing properly,” she added.It turned out Paquin had a second smaller tear in her knee that became a problem after the first surgery. Doctors tried several injections before opting for a second surgery last August —a year after the first operation — with six months rehab after that.
