Thank you for translating the article. Hopefully Imke Glas will have an amazing recovery like the injured Chinese gymnast Wang Yan (after 2 months: "A paralyzed gymnast Wang Yan can stand up and get about with crutch, who recovered beyond doctors' expectation since she broke her neck in an accidental falldown from uneven bars at the national championship early June") article: http://www.gymchat.com/messageboards/viewtopic.php?t=1147
