Helen Kevric suffered a kneecap ligament injury at the European Gymnastics Championships in Leipzig. This was announced by national coach Gerben Wiersma after initial examinations at a hospital. The 17-year-old will return to Stuttgart for more detailed medical examinations. A decision will then be made on how to proceed.
"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.
