Anastasia Grishina fell to the ground after over rotating a triple twist on floor in the team final this morning. She was stretchered off.
It seems that there is a problem with her left knee (dislocation?). Her mother says she will need an MRI scan. It will probably be days before anything will be confirmed.
Unpleasant echoes for the Russian team. Unsurprisingly, Aliya Mustafina looked rather dispirited in her floor exercise, sitting down her double Arabian and taking a noticeable pause before resuming the exercise. Before her exercise, right after Grishina's injury, the World Champion was seen to crouch by the podium, as if in tears ... An emotional moment for her in many ways.
Just keep hoping for the best, and think strong thoughts for Nastia and her teams.
NOTE CORRECTION FROM EARLIER EDITION - Grishina was injured during competition, not warm up.
I hope the Rodionenkos are happy! It's like they never believed Grishina when she was suffering from little niggles. She probably felt so much pressure to perform at her fullest difficulty at this meet.
ReplyDeleteGOD this team can't catch a break
ReplyDeletePoor Grishina, just when she was starting to get over her injuries. If it is dislocated, it might be few months out.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping it isn't too serious.
Dear Queen E, when you know more about Grish, can you update us?
ReplyDelete:-) There isa picture of her on vk with an enormous teddy bear in her hospital bed. she will have an MRI scan before a diagnosis and treatment plan can be drawn.
Deleteshe partially tore her ACL, gristle in the knee is also torn and the front bone is broken.
DeleteFrom an unofficial but trustworthy source ... Nastia is going to Germany in the 14th for surgery with the same doctor who treated Mustafina, Afanasyeva (the second time) and Komova.
