After discussing with Andhika Pratama and her coach, Ussy finally decided to let go of the Chicago Marathon and focus on recovering from her injury.

"I choose to focus on healing first. I also remember my initial intention in pursuing this sport for health, not to add more injuries. If I force myself to go to Chicago, there will still be many opportunities in the coming years, God willing," concluded Ussy.

This injury is also what has made Ussy hesitant to try padel until now. Ussy must really focus on recovery before engaging in heavy activities again.
