Drama around Helen Kevric: The German medal hope apparently seriously injured itself at the home European Championships in Leipzig.
At the start of the all-round decision, the 17-year-old crashed after landing. Then she stayed on her back and had to be treated medically. The Stuttgart native was then worn by supervisors from the hall. At first nothing was known about the type and severity of the injury.
Kevric had qualified as the third best for the all-around final and had started with legitimate medal hopes. Furthermore, she had achieved the final fight on the uneven bars as the best, making the best prospects to win the European Championship title on her special device.
Most recently, Elisabeth Seitz (31) in Munich had succeeded in Munich, who had declared and announced her resignation shortly before the all-round final started and announced that she would become a mother.
