Jordyn Wieber - Stress Fracture!!!


Throughout this Olympic Games Jordyn Wieber has revealed her "strong character" as U.S. National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi calls it. 
Coming in with enormous expectations, the reigning World Champion did not have the Olympic Games of her dreams. The only medal Wieber will take home to Michigan is a team gold. 
We saw Wieber rise to the occasion with spectacular performances during Team Finals and fight through individual disappointment while continuing to hold her head high and support her teammates. The 17-year-old handled defeat with class and maturity. 
Then as the London Olympics came to a close with Wieber's final performance in the floor exercise final, Coach John Geddert revealed that there was one more thing Wieber was fighting through: a likely stress fracture.  
Geddert shared that according to USA team doctor Larry Nassar, "there are all the signs of a stress fracture. She’s had soreness and now there is a lump there. So, she’ll be in a boot tomorrow, finish out the Games, get an x-ray, and then an MRI. It's the same leg as her heel injury. She’s been having problems since training camp."
