Yamilet Peña injury update

elcaribe.com (Spanish) is the main source for a report on Couch Gymnast.

I’ve heard more from Andres Llanos Gerardino who’s in Dominican Republic right now leading an FIG Age Group Camp.

As we heard, Yamilet Peña was training Vault on to a Gymnova resi-pit installed for the 2003 Pan-American Games.

Those foam tops “break”.

She landed in a “hole” and injured one ankle.

Needless to say, lack of maintenance of the foam pit is blamed.

Yamilet is listed to compete at the World Cup Paris in March. And still hopes to be ready in time.

Andres fears the injury may force her withdrawal from Paris.
