Injuries and lawsuit
Owen suffered from her first back fracture when she was eleven years old while performing a whip salto.[7] Owen sued her coaches, Christine and Colin Still, in 2010, claiming that she was forced to continue training through her various back injuries, and that these injuries have left her unable to sit or stand for more than a few minutes, and she is unable to carry a baby.[7]
