database of injured gymnasts

Kary linked to profiles of 25 American gymnasts. And a partial inventory of their injuries.

The list is somewhat random, the intent being (I assume) to point out the dangers of Elite Women’s Artistic Gymnastics.

Elite Women’s Artistic Gymnastics is a dangerous sport.

That’s certain.

We suffer as many injuries as any other Olympic sport.

I didn’t learn anything from this database. It would be more balanced if they had an up-to-date response from each of the women included.

What would Courtney Kupets say about her entry, for example?

See the database for yourself.
