Kupets had an amazing comeback and won two medals, but no gold, so some (not me) would view that as a "failure."

Some would view her attempt as a success, while others would say she failed because she didn't go all the way.

I realize she might be different in real life, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt. As far as a "successful comeback," goes to her, that may mean one thing: winning the Olympic AA gold two years after being out, having surgery, etc. That is extremely difficult, and I don't know if anyone has accomplished it on their second Olympic go-round. To another person, "successful comeback" might mean just MAKING a second Olympic team.

She was off for four months during which time she was touring and training. <br /><br />Anyway if Shawns comeback is even more successful then Dominique M's I will be impressed.
