Romanian superstar fractures back in training
September 2, 2007 - Romanian superstar Marian Dragulescu, the defending world champion on both vault and floor exercise, will not compete in Stuttgart after fracturing his vertebra in training on Saturday.
Adrian Stoica of the Romanian Gymnastics Federation told IG that during Saturday's practice, Dragulescu landed normally during training and felt pain.
"Apparently the muscles pulled bone away from one of the vertebra," Stoica said.
Dragulescu was treated for pain on Saturday night, but by Sunday evening was unable to move. X-rays revealed a cracked lumbar vertebra.[/quote]
