    From pregnancy to the Olympics in under a year: Too soon or just right?

    French figure skater Isabelle Delobel returned to elite competition with her ice dancing partner Olivier Schoenfelder four months after giving birth to her son. The skating duo finished sixth in Vancouver. Do you think her return was impressive or too soon?

    Her return was impressive. I give her a lot of credit for the gold-medal effort it took to recover from pregnancy and prepare for such elite competition.

    I think it was too soon. Her body and her baby couldn't possibly be ready for that kind of physical and emotional commitment.

    I don't think it should even be a question. Women return to work all the time. Hers might be more physical than some, but think about the women that have to be back at work within 6 weeks!
