Miss Val on Achilles

UCLA had their second Achilles rupture of the season.

Dana McDonald 2012
Lichelle Wong 2012

Vanessa Zamarripa in 2011

… who else?

They must average one / year. 😦

I actually agree with Miss Val. Achilles seems to be near unpreventable for powerful, older gymnasts. College girls are more at risk than Elite, I’d say.

One bit of good news … Sydney Sawa is in great shape and hopes to be back in 2 weeks.
