gymnast Ananth Rao paralyzed

On October 12, 2010 Ananth Rao was competing in a State competition in India on Floor. He under rotated a 1 3/4 forward salto roll out. And will now spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

โ€˜Paralysedโ€™ gymnast needs a long helping hand

In the draft version of the next Men’s Code of Points roll out skills on Floor are banned. They’ve been banned in the Women’s Code for decades after 1978 World Champion Elena Mukhina was paralyzed.

Congratulations FIG MTC for that decision. Our sport will have far fewer concussions and catastrophic injuries in future.

This is fantastic for Gymnastics in the host nation. Fantastic for the sport in South America.

And fantastic for GBR. Congratulations Max.

How many years ago would you have been laughed at for predicting GBR and BRA would win all 3 medals on FX at Olympics? ๐Ÿ™‚

That said, overall it was a disappointing final. Some of the best guys in the world competed below average routines. Kenzo was as sure a lock for the Gold on this apparatus as we had in Rio.

Hero De Janeiro – Andreas Toba

Magnetic imaging of his knee showed a tear in his front cruciate ligament as well as meniscus damage in the knee, the German Olympic Sports Federation said.

Toba will have to be operated on and will fly back to Germany once he is no longer in pain, gymnastics team official Sven Karg said.

The gymnast ruptured the cruciate ligament during the floor exercise but astonishingly still competed on the pommel horse afterwards …

Fabian Hambรผchen feels FIG rules are pushing too much difficulty. I agree. Especially on Vault.
