just found this... Wang Yan shows signs of recovery You probably heard of a catastrophic fall from bars on dismount at a competition in China June 10th. Gao Jian, the chief of gymnastic administration center, reports that injured Chinese gymnast Wang Yan is improving. According to Gao, Wang is getting stronger physically and the right foot regains the ability to move. “I visited Wang Yan in hospital yesterday. Wang expressed her will to cooperate with the doctor and hoped to get well soon. I suffered similar injury when I was a gymnast in 1968, so I encouraged her by taking me as an example,” said Gao.
