The world's sports stars have no shortage of good performances, although the major media from time to time sent out the world of sports sad and happy sensational rumors, but, so far, this session has only one hot spot - the story of the Chinese girl Sang Lan.

Sang Lan, a 17-year-old Chinese gymnast from Ningbo, is representing China at this year's Friendship Games. Had there not been the tragedy caused by the accidental miss before the individual event, perhaps, she would have attended the press conference and accepted the media for a short time as the vault champion of the Games.

The accident, which occurred during the warm-up routine before the gymnastics individual competition, was at about 6 a.m. Beijing time on July 22 (the evening of July 21 in New York), when the vault competition was about to take place in the Long Island Gymnastics Arena. In the routine warm-up, the girl was full of energy, and she had already done the "handspring" movement twice, and she wanted to do it again, even though for a member of the team whose strength is vaulting, she can say that she knows this movement by heart. But the last jump has caused her lifelong regrets.

Witnessed the tragedy of the U.S. national team assistant coach said: Sang Lan's action is not very difficult, she seems to be a little hesitant to jump, the body in the air more than a turn, as a result, her head on the ground, immediately fell to the ground. Chinese coaches and ambulance personnel on the sidelines immediately rushed up to give first aid, the poor girl was in shock for about 10 seconds, and we quickly immobilized her and carried her on a stretcher to the Nassau Medical Center. It could only have been an accident.

About 12 minutes later, Dr. David Chang, a Chinese-American attending physician who was on duty in Long Island's radiology department, began examining Sanlan. The result - a misplaced contusion of Sanlan's sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae, accompanied by nerve tissue damage that could lead to paralysis. That evening, the Friendship Games Organizing Committee sent a message to the Chinese delegation that, in view of the seriousness of Sang Lan's condition, it had decided to invite Sang Lan's parents to come to New York as soon as possible "to help Sang Lan's recovery with affectionate encouragement."

The next day, the organizing committee held a press conference on Sanglan's case at the Long Island Gymnastics Press Center, which was also the press conference with the largest number of journalists present at this year's games. Dr. Rioni, the attending physician at Nassau Medical Center, briefed the media on Sanglan's injury. After diagnosis and treatment, Sanglan's cervical vertebrae misalignment has been successfully reset, she is in a clear state of mind, her upper limb mobility is gradually improving, but she has lost consciousness from the chest down. The doctor added: "I've never met a girl as resilient as Sanlam, even though she is a 17-year-old girl in the middle of a very painful process."

After visiting Sanlam, Nassau's top administrator Thomas said, "I am inspired by her courage in the face of pain, she is great!!!"

USA Gymnastics President Ms. Scanan regretted the accident, but noted that it was not the product of an unsafe environment.

Tu Mingde, head of the Chinese sports delegation and secretary-general of the Chinese Olympic Committee, told the "foreigners" present in fluent English that the Chinese delegation was grateful to their American friends for their concern and care for Sanglan, and that the Chinese side would make it possible for Sanglan's parents to come to the United States as soon as possible, and said that the Chinese athletes would continue to devote themselves to the competition in earnest.

"When can I practice?" This is the first sentence Sang Lan woke up to say. When people learned of this news from the Chinese gymnastics team leader Zhao Yuxin, they all stood in awe of Sang Lan, a girl who may have suffered paralysis just after her prime.

Zhao Yuxin, who has been accompanying Sang Lan in front of the hospital bed, said to reporters with red eyes: "This child is very understanding, the day after the injury, I asked her if she wanted her mother to come to stay with her, and she said: 'No, don't let mom and dad to come, they will be sad to see me like this.' " Sanlan's head and neck sides are making traction, can not move.

The Sang Lan incident shocked Long Island. Tu Mingde, head of the delegation in visiting Sanglan sent her a naughty and cute little white bear, on behalf of the entire Chinese delegation wishing the little Sanglan early recovery; China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Shen Guofang and other deputy representatives to the hospital to visit Sanglan; all the participants in the Friendship Games Gymnastics to Sanglan to send a signed letter of condolence; from all walks of life in the local community, especially in the U.S. Chinese have sent flowers, gifts, and it is said that the hospital this It is said that the hospital has set up a special room for this purpose; Nassau Medical Center's website has countless e-letters of condolence to Sang Lan ...... In order to make Sang Lan recover early, on the second day of Sang Lan's injury, the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration licensed the Nassau Medical Center to use the experimental drug "SYGEN" on Sang Lan. " experimental drug. This synthetic protein is said to be used to treat nerve damage and repair tissue structure.

At about 8 a.m. local time on July 25 (7:00 p.m. GMT), specialists at Nassau Medical Center performed a seven-hour cervical spine fusion on Sunlen so that she could sit up later. Before she was about to enter the operating room, Sanlan said, "I really hope the surgery is done soon so I can eat." Since her injury, she has been fed on an IV.

A few hours after Sang Lan's surgery, which a hospital spokesman called "successfully completed," at 7:45 p.m. Beijing time, Sang Lan's father, Sang Shisheng, and mother, Chen Xiufeng, flew to New York via Frankfurt. In order to save the Chinese couple, who had traveled a long way from Ningbo, from the shock of the scene, the organizing committee used extraordinary protective measures to make them leave JFK airport smoothly, so that the world's major media journalists who were going to follow them had no chance to do so.

The U.S. major media on the Sanlan incident is highly invested, over the past few days, in front of the Nassau Medical Center, there are satellite trucks and photojournalists stationed at the center, the spokesman is more difficult to fight. Even in the Sang Lan team into the United States when taken Sang Lan clip of Chinese television reporters, two Shanghai-based newsman Wu Xiaoqing and Chen Jun a "price rise", ABC Broadcasting Corporation also specially to their bosses special price to buy like a tape ......

Beijing time last night 10 o'clock, Nassau Medical Center announced: Sanlan's surgery was very successful, she can already sit up and eat!

"Can Sanlan still stand up?"

Though one doesn't get a straight answer in the affirmative, there are countless good wishes interwoven into the tragic story that Sanlam has enacted, that's for sure.
