well, i haven't been in gymnastics for a long time, but i'm a cheerleader and i tumble. tumbling is the same either way. but my worst injuries would be tearing my achilles tendon and having to get surgery and having 3 stress fractures in my back. both of them were from "overworking" my body. neither were from a fall or anything. the stress fractures just sort of happened over time and the torn achilles tendon just sort of happened one day when i was tumbling. i landed the tumbling pass and everything!!

Well, I'm a level seven and recently i was doing a Tsuk into the foam block pit off of a big wedge mat, and it was really close to the edge. I went off to the side, hit my right foot on the edge (just cement with a hard mat over it) and broke my foot. I have to miss the state meet b/c of it!!! I have also done lots of stupid stuff, plus sprains and pulled muscles, and knee problems. Actually, I sprained my right ankle and my left wrist and broke my right foot all this season! Oh well, what can ya do, no gymnast can get very far without any injuries. Too bad we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into when we were younger!!! Lol i gymnastics more than anything, its my life, and all of the injuries are worth it!!!
