The “snap” was nasty sounding for Bross. Still freaks me out to listen to.

@@angelabordack As someone who has had the same knee injury and required major surgery afterwords, I canNOT watch that. As soon as I saw her name pop up in the video, I had to fast forward. I saw it when it originally happened, and brought back horrible memories for me. Nope, nope, nope nope!

It was the mat that cracked.

@@carlsrosinasa8821it wasn’t it was her joint

It just shows how much of a beating the body- knees in particular- takes on vault… or any event in gymnastics. It’s a shame as many of these ended the athletes shot at the Olympics.

Она завоевала 4 медали. 1 золото, 1 серебро и 2 бронзы. Тоже неплохой набор, откуда нам знать как бы сложилось, не будь этой травмы.

@@TinySafi_STR she could’ve got gold on every event possibly

Yall say anything. Gymnasts were dying from Injuries during your time. Safety has improved significantly. Gymnasts are encouraged to be muscular instead of fragile and thin like before

Mukhina would have something to say about safety in the 70's .

So sad

You... But you clicked it

@@ofyourbluesky haha, I'm subscribed

Appears to be.

It sure is. IIRC, the same clip was shown in Athlete A.

Yes, you can see his name on the badge at 3:15

I was in Gym when I was very very young until about 11 bc I got so tall. I still struggle with bad bones and back from years of backflips and falls breaking bones.

Except most gymnasts are under 21 so you’d be talking about massively limiting the sport

Many sports athletes can peak below 18

Gymnastics isn't like most sports. The peak years are much younger and also a smaller window. When your young, your body can tolerate more, then when your older in gymnastics

No.. that's not the solution...these girls start two years old...the older you get the harder it is your body..that's why alot gymnasts retire at 20-21yrs old..though we are on an upswing age wise presently...But Simone is the exception to alot rules

All of them continued their careers. Riley McCusker: Injury occurred at 2021 Winter Cup. She went on to compete at the US national championships and Olympic trials that same year on uneven bars only, with some feeling her work was strong enough that she should have made the team. She currently is competing at the University of Florida with two years of eligibility remaining. However, she has not competed vault nor floor since this injury and missed the 2024 NCAA season with injury. Aliya Mustafina: Injury occurred at the 2011 European Championships All-Around Final. She went on to have one of the most storied gymnastics careers in the sports history. She competed at the 2012 Olympic Games only a year later where she became the most decorated gymnast of the competition, leaving with a gold on uneven bars, silver in the team and two bronze medals in the all-around and on floor. She repeated all but her floor medal at the Olympics in Rio four years after that in addition to a multitude of medals won in 2013-2018, including winning the world title on beam in 2013. She retired in 2020 and is currently coaching the Russian junior national team. Rebecca Bross: Injury occurred at the 2011 national championships. She returned a year later, competing at the 2012 national championships and Olympic trials on bars and beam. She hit 3/4 of her bars routines and was a bit shaky on beam. She did not compete vault or floor after her injury and retired shortly after missing the Olympic team. I think she’s currently a nurse though someone can correct me if I’m wrong. Ellie Black: Injury occurred at the 2012 Olympic Games. She’s competed every single year since then and is the best gymnast Canada has ever produced. She has three world championship medals (the most for a Canadian gymnast) including a silver in the all-around in 2017 (best finish by a Canadian to date) and placed 5th in the all-around in Rio and 4th in the balance beam in Tokyo. She made several individual finals at the world championships last Autumn and is guaranteed a spot on this summer’s Olympic team assuming she remains healthy. Asia D’Amato: Injury occurred at the 2022 European Championships. She’s competed in both 2023 and 2024, but both seasons have been cut short to ACL tears, at a World Cup in 2023 and just recently at the European championships this year.

@@zyxcba126 wow, good to know, thanks for imformative answer

Actually most gymnasts are small and light

I wondered about that too. At the Olympics in Sydney all the gymnasts were getting hurt because the vault was set 5cm too low. I think that might be what's happening here.

Yeah it happened before and then one girl didn't get to redo it but the other girls did
