good on her, for the complete perseverence.

but would the hip ever be able to take the weight/torque/force that elite gymnast put their bodies under? I wonder what her hip flex is like?

good on her!

Well, shoot. I’m surprised they are giving her as much of a 20% chance to get back to elite. That’s shocking to me. It really represents how far hip replacements have come.

Jac is the most amazing kid. If anyone can come back from this, she’s the one who will do it!
