gymnasts recovering from ACL tears

After the AWFUL injury on Vault to our World Champion, Aliya Mustafina, many are concerned that she’ll not be able to recovery in time for the 2012 Olympics.

She has time.

Many gymnasts have come back from knee ligament surgery. It’s a long, long list.

Here’s one, a ‘power’ gymnast, Jessica Savona. She was credited double arabian layout (G) at Wild Rose and Gymnix 2011. (Second girl in the world to do that skill?)

Click PLAY or watch her on YouTube.

Savona finished 2nd AA at Wild Rose (54.450), winning Floor with a 14.35. Her knee is strong.

Keep the faith. Aliya Mustafina will be back by London.
