Meissner withdrew from the 2009 U.S. Nationals due to a hip flexor injury that occurred during an off-ice training session, while sprinting on a treadmill, and exacerbated while training jumps on the ice. She went through physical therapy back in Baltimore, but the pain was too much to complete her jumps and fully compete.
She stated that she hoped that she would recover in order to compete at the 2010 Nationals.

Career, Business and Investments
Kimmie Meissner's career began early and flourished as she achieved remarkable feats in figure skating. Post-retirement from competitive skating, she transitioned into coaching and mentorship, working with young athletes to help them navigate their skating careers. Additionally, she has invested in various ventures, including merchandise related to figure skating, and actively participates in skating exhibitions worldwide.
Meissner was one of the best technical figure skaters of her time, but was an inconsistent skater, especially towards the end of her career. She was compared to Olympic skater and U.S. champion Michelle Kwan, who called her "the new face of figure skating". By 2020, she worked in the medical field and coached young skaters in Maryland.
Meissner was the spokesperson for the "Cool Kids Campaign", a pediatric oncology charity.
Social Network
Kimmie Meissner maintains an active presence on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, where she shares updates about her life, skating activities, and personal interests with her fans. Her Instagram account, in particular, showcases her skating escapades, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and snippets of her daily life.
Due to her inconsistent skating all season, Meissner came into the 2007 World Championships with "a lot to prove". She was in fourth place after the short program, earning a personal-best score of 64.67 points.
She skated a clean program and like the other top three skaters (Yu-Na Kim of Korea, who earned a personal-best score of 71.95 points and the highest short program score up to that point, Miki Ando of Japan, and Carolina Kostner of Italy), performed triple-triple combinations in her program.
Even though she fell on her triple Lutz during the six-minute warm-up, Meissner successfully performed a triple Lutz-triple toe combination jump, as well as a triple flip and a double Axel.
She had good speed throughout her level-four spiral sequence, and as reporter Laura Fawcett put it, her level-three straight-line footwork sequence was "musical but seemed a little slow across the ice". She ended her program with a combination spin, which demonstrated "nice position variations".
Education
Kimmie Meissner pursued her education alongside her skating career. After completing high school, she attended the University of Delaware. Balancing her academic pursuits with her passion for skating, Kimmie aimed to equip herself for life beyond the rink.
In early 2010, Meissner changed coaches again, to Baltimore-based coach Chris Conte, who had previously worked with Sasha Cohen, Emily Hughes, Miki Ando, and Timothy Goebel. Conte helped her rebuild her jumping technique and make it more efficient, add rotation to her takeoffs and stability to her landings, and choreograph her ice show programs.
She also began working as a physical therapist, performing in ice shows, and taking college courses. Meissner retired from competitive skating in 2010.
