Rob Brodie's most recent interview with Wesley Chiu: 'I'm almost back to where I was'

The ankle injury that cut short his previous season back in November is indeed still a thing, but it’s a thing that keeps getting a little bit better with each passing day.

“Yeah, it’s still a thing. It’s not as big of a thing,” he said. “I’m able to train every day (with a ‘reduced load,’ Chiu adds), jump every day, and I’m almost back to where I was pre-injury, but I’m still doing a lot of rehab. It’s still going to be a top priority for this summer, just to really build strength in the ankle and prevent further injury.”

While choreography has been completed on two new programs for Chiu, he suggests there’s a possibility he might keep one or both of last year’s routines (Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” for the short, “Nuvole Bianche” and “Experience” by Ludovico Einaudi for the free) but that’s a decision that’s being kept under wraps for now.

“I’ve been working on new programs, and we have considered keeping old programs, but now I have two (new) programs that are ready to go for next season.,” he said. “I don’t want to specify on whether I’m keeping (last year’s programs) or getting new ones. Want to keep that a surprise.”
