The most breakable gymnast?

I watched the 2009 world championships at the O2 in London. (A trial run of the olympics in 2012) I was lucky to see Ana Porgras of Romania perform in her first senior competition. Very lucky it seems, this girl has a long list of injuries to match her long list of gold medals.

March 2008 - calf muscle tear
January 2009 - torn meniscus
October 2009 - Cracked Ribs
March 2010 - Pulled Left Hamstring
May 2010 - Cracked Fibula

This latest happened during the team final at the European Championships in Birmingham.

Not quite sure on which move the injury happened here, she gets through the whole routine and then has to be carried away from the podium after.



True- the girl just looks breakable! On top of that Ana was back in the gym within a week- working in a cast!

I hope she gets enough time to heal properly and gain some strength. She is a talented gymnast who will do well in the olympics............if she can just get there in one piece!
