Brinn Bevan – broken leg

Instagram. 😦 I do think FIG must widen the Vault landing mats. Ken Ikeda from Canada suffered a similar landing injury a couple of years ago. On Yurchenko.

News has travelled pretty fast around the world anyway, so I thought I would inform you all correctly. At the weekend, the 21/11/15 to be specific. I had a freak accident on vault. I went wonky on a yuchenko and landed with one leg on the landing matts (right leg) the other on the concrete (left leg) which left me with a broken leg both tibia & Fibia. I had to have surgery shortly after. The pain as excruciating as it was I could handle, but the disappointment & heart break from going from such a high at the world championships to the lowest low after a little mishap was very hard for me. all my emotions just erupted and I've found myself constantly In tears. This may be a big stepping stone to overcome but most if not all successful athletes have had to overcome adversity to reach their goals. That moment at the world championships I will never forget & it's something I want to feel again. So after my recovery stage I will be grinding to get myself back better than I have ever been. I would like to thank a lot of people for your support, my family & team mates which are basically the same thing @jaythompson_96 @maxwhitlock @reissbeckford @haydenskinner43 & the biggest thank you to my coach and father figure @scotthann who never left my side once and I know your behind me every step of the way. My motto I live by; Tough Times Don't Last Tough People Do
