Ouchhhh! An Auburn University gymnast was participating in Friday’s NCAA gymnastics regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana when she broke both legs during her routine. Here's more from WGN:
Samantha Cerio, a 5-foot senior from Huntersville, North Carolina, was attempting a handspring double front on her first tumbling pass whenshe landed awkwardly and suffered the gruesome injury.
Trainers and medical staff tended to Cerio for almost 10 minutes before she was taken off the floor on a stretcher. Auburn officials have not confirmed the severity of the injuries, butNOLA.comis reporting Cerio dislocated both of her knees and broke both of her legs.
