The 2010 world champion tried to compete Bars / Beam at DTB Cup this weekend. But had some knee pain. It was a no go.
As reported by Brigid McCarthy:
“The DTB ticker, after saying Mustafina had withdrawn, commented that as she helped her team prepare bars, she did not look happy at all. The crowds and many fans around the world are equally unhappy about this gymnast’s unfortunate luck of late. Let us hope we will see her soon.”

Blythe had questioned whether or not it was too soon.
It looks that way. But I’ve seen astonishingly fast recovery from ACL from super fit, super motivated young gymnasts before.
