Thanks Sher.

Having snapped her Achilles in October at World Championships, she’s already scheduled to return to Brestyans.

… Rehab has gone better than expected, and Sacramone is ahead of schedule for her return to full-time practice, which she expects to resume at the beginning of February. When she does, she’ll follow a slightly unorthodox plan, which she has adhered to since her 2010 comeback: Rather than six hours of daily gymnastics — the norm for many elite gymnasts — Sacramone spends 2½-3 hours in the gym, followed by yoga, Pilates or a cardio session. …

I saw these two cool vaults linked from there:
