Injured wakeboarder Dallas Friday of Orlando gets a hug from her brother Chad, 21, as she arrives at Orlando International Airport on Wednesday. Friday, 20, broke her left femur in at least 7 places Oct. 1 as she performed a jump during the final event in the 2006 Wakeboard World Cup series in Singapore. After surgery, the world’s greatest female wakeboarder developed severe problems with her lungs and needed a respirator to breathe for 6 days. ‘This isn’t going to hold me back,’ she said.
