Gymnastics ace Kevric suffers kneecap ligament injury

"She will definitely not be competing on the uneven bars tomorrow," said the Dutchman. "I'm very sad and sorry for Helen," said Wiersma. Kevric fell after landing on the vault at the start of the all-around competition. She then remained lying on her back and had to be treated. The Stuttgart native was then carried out of the hall by Wiersma and team doctor Rainer Eckhardt.

The national coach was surprised

"It happened during the landing. I can't say exactly what happened. I was just as surprised as everyone else," said the national coach. She had finished her jump sensibly. "Then I suddenly saw that she jumped backwards and then lay there," he reported.
