    Anon Injury Related

    WAG Skills after injury

    Hello! My level 7 had a beautiful free hip handstand and then was out with a back injury for about a month. Everything else came back quickly but she is beyond frustrated with this one skill she can not get back. I think it’s part fear but not all. If you’ve dealt with this - are there any...

    Parents Back Injury Disapointment

    2 weeks ago today, DD hurt her back doing a backdrop to pullover on her trampoline (A skill she's had for a year or two and does it without a problem).

    Anon Documentation to Return After Injury/Surgery

    Awful lot of injuries this year at the Europeans...what do you all think of it? It doesn't take much to hurt yourself in gymnastics -- the slightest bit "off" landing or take-off can lead to sprains and tears and broken bones. I feel sorry for the poor athletes who got hurt in a major...
