Gymnast injury

[Jesus X]

she'll certainly kneed some time to mend.
but I'm not a doctor, I'm on shaky ground without a leg to stand on.
hopefully next time, she gets a leg up on her competitors.

too soon?
nah, c'mon she'll be OK.

ha,puns.

My daughter (11) does gymnastics 3 times a week an completes regularly. I really fucking didnt need to see this.

Don't worry she's probably not good enough.

 

[Jesus X]

breaking one foot and one knee is bad enough but she did that times two she suffered like 4 injuries at once.

That commentator <{CMPALM}>

"It looks like she rolled her ankle"

I lol pretty hard at that. a doctor he is not. the only thing she probably didn't hurt was her ankles.

this is a tragedy she may never be able to get her legs behind her head again

Im sure there is an aerospace engineer joke in here somewhere

Edit: Looks like shes gonna need to engineer herself some new landing gear.

I love how the dude comes casually strolling up to check on her with zero urgency. Hands in his pocket like he’s whistling Dixie at a museum

extremely brutal, good lawd

i couldn't even imagine something like that. Although i understand a simple misjudgement in rotation or opening up can cause havoc. I once get way too confident in HS, and assumed b/c i could do a Double flip off a lowdive, a 2.5 from the high dive should be no problem right?

uh no. Let's say i did a 2.25, opened up way early and completely faceplanted/bellyflopped/groin destruction at all once. I did get a standing O when i got out, but i looked like i was sunburn for like 5 days from the impact redness.

I'm not sure if that, or the time i tried to flying squirrel off the Second level Platform, and overrotated and did like a parachute instead was worse.

Took the time to write this while recovering in the hospital and also mourning Auburn's Final Four defeat.


Friday night was my final night as a gymnast. After 18 years I am hanging up my grips and leaving the chalk behind. I couldn’t be prouder of the person that gymnastics has made me to become. It’s taught me hard work, humility, integrity, and dedication, just to name a few. It’s given me challenges and road blocks that I would have never imagined that has tested who I am as a person. It may not have ended the way I had planned, but nothing ever goes as planned.

Thank you Auburn family for giving me a home and a chance to continue doing the sport that will always be my first love. I am honored to have had the privilege to represent the navy and orange AU for the past 4 years with my team by my side. Thank you for letting me share my passion with you. Thank you for letting me be a part of something bigger than myself.

I wonder if 35 year old former gymnasts have the body mechanics of a 45 year old former NFLer.

No most of the men are quite healthy.

A lot of the women go from exercising 6 hours a day to doing bugger all so might have a weight issue.
