Inner meniscus damage: Another bad luck with injuries for artistic gymnast Toba

Hanover (SID) Another bad luck with injuries for artistic gymnast Andreas Toba: The 27-year-old suffered damage to the medial meniscus in his left knee during the training camp in South Korea. "I was lucky in misfortune. The cruciate ligaments and the lateral ligament are tight," wrote Toba, who became known as the "Hero de Janeiro" at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, on Instagram. The knee now has to be observed “for a week or two and then we will decide whether it needs to be operated on.” Toba was injured in an unfortunate landing on the ground during training and then left the training camp. Before the Summer Games in Brazil, he had already had surgery on his left knee. In Rio, Toba suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee during the floor team competition, but despite this serious injury, he still did his exercise on the pommel horse. Due to the new injury, Toba will have to miss competitions in the spring, including the DTB Cup in Stuttgart in March. "So I'm completely focused on the next goal, the European Championships in Glasgow in August," he continued.
