We reported in Origo that Zója Székely finished 8th on the uneven bars at the World Gymnastics Championships while competing with an injury. In connection with the incident, Zója Székely, who chose to jump off the original hurdle despite violating her coach's instructions, paid a heavy price for her indiscipline, collapsing upon landing and unable to get back on her feet. Now, she has spoken out about her condition.
Zója Székely stated that if it were up to her, her knee, which she injured at the World Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, would recover quickly. "I have pain in my leg. I still need to have a thorough examination at home to see exactly what the problem is and where I need to go with the rehabilitation, but I am absolutely fine in my head and I am very confident. I feel that if it were up to me, I would recover quickly." the 22-year-old athlete said on Saturday on the M1 current affairs channel.
Zoja Székely did not give up the tournament even though she was injured.
Zója Székely suffered a bone bruise in both knees during the individual all-around final on Thursday and was unable to finish the competition. Despite this, she took on the uneven bar final on Friday, in which she aimed to perform a modified routine. The 2020 European Championship silver medalist ultimately decided to finish the routine with her original dismount, but was unable to finish the landing, finishing eighth.
“The thing is, I often have a problem with my temper. I am an athlete, my personality is like that. I felt that I had a good practice behind me, and we have very, very little time to make decisions at times like this.” she said. She added that she made a split-second decision before the dismount, and although it is very easy to consider it in retrospect, she simply could not resist trying. “I would be lying if I said that my leg was not worse than the day before. That landing definitely worsened the position of my right leg, but I can’t say for sure yet.” said the FTC-Telekom gymnast.
She emphasized that she will definitely receive proper care at home and be surrounded by a proper team, which is why rehabilitation is already being planned, which she would like to start as soon as possible. Székely stated that she will travel home not completely sad, but with very mixed emotions, because she has been through both heaven and hell. On the one hand, an injury never comes at a good time, and on the other hand, she achieved something superhuman by becoming a World Championship finalist in both the uneven bars and individual all-around.
