Göksu Üçtaş was the first ever Turkish Olympic gymnast. She competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics at age 21, but due to an injury she could only compete beam. Göksu competes a switch leap, back tuck leap series, front and side aerials, full turn, split jump, wolf jump jump series, and a front tuck dismount She scored a 11.325. The skills she competed were not difficult. Though, before she got hurt she did a back handspring layout series and a round-off double back dismount instead of a front tuck. Getting hurt can really reflect on how you preform. Have got ever gotten hurt before a big event or game in your life?

Hi Abby! Wow that’s really sad. I would be really upset of something like that would’ve happened to me. In your question you asked if we have ever been hurt before a big game or just a game. To answer your question no I haven’t been hurt before any of my games before. I was researching Göksu Üçtaş and found out her injury was to her left elbow I believe is that right?
ReplyDeleteI know! Yep, she hurt her elbow so the pressure in her back handsprings and round-offs would have hurt it.
