It's Every Day

Czeschin tore the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee at the end of the 2000 season, and it has taken him a while to fully recover. He held back from his signature trick, a 1080, all last season. After intense training all summer, he expects his 1080 to be at peak form for the 2001-02 season and Olympic Winter Games.
