“I let go too soon on my Shaposhnikova half and when I landed my knee turned inwards. I heard something pop and after that, I felt a lot of pain.”
FIT Challenge 赛台训练时，杠子 Shaposh 1/2 脱手过早，导致膝盖直接落地后内收，“砰”的一声过后，膝盖开始痛了。
“The physical therapist and doctors had already told me that that would probably be it, so it didn’t come as a total shock to me. But you still hope that the injury is less bad. That made it kind of hard to get the confirmation. I was in good shape, felt strong. I was looking forward to showing beautiful gymnastics and to run through a nice route of competing at the Flanders International Team Challenge, the National Championships and the Universiade with Elze Geurts. Unfortunately, that’s not possible now. I’m very disappointed, but I will be back.”
上周五做了 MRI 后才确认是前十字韧带撕裂，医生和理疗师之前就跟她提过伤情，所以她得知结果后也没太意外。不过事先总是希望伤势可以轻些轻些再轻些，赛前自身的状态不错，最后这样心里总有点难以接受。她很想在 FIT Challenge 以及随之而来的荷锦赛上发挥出水平，与 Elze Geurts 携手迈向七月份的大运会。如今希望落空，心里肯定会失望，不过不会因此停止前进的步伐，以后还会重返赛场。
“Now that I know what’s wrong, I can start making a plan for the road back to recovery. I have never thought about quitting: I want to come back. I’m not sure how long that’s going to take. That’s different for everybody.”
她希望早日进行手术，现在不想就这样放弃，想在手术后尽快恢复。不过恢复一事因人而异，所以她也不知道要多久才能回归。
