Leslie King for USAG:
Rebecca Bross asked USA Gymnastics to distribute the following statement to the media on her behalf.
Rebecca … will undergo surgery on Aug. 25 to reset and stabilize her right kneecap, which was dislocated on Aug. 20 at the Visa Championships. She is expected to return to gymnastics in two months and to be back to 100 percent in time for the start of the 2012 competitive season. Rebecca extends her thanks and appreciation for the notes and well wishes from fans, friends and family.
Great news. The recovery is much quicker than ligament damage.
This will give her a chance to fully recover everything else. And make a plan to peak for London.
Peng Peng Lee had a very similar injury in May. She’s competing in Trials for Worlds this weekend.
