Van Zyl retired after suffering a back injury. "I took off a year because I had problems with my back. I decided to only focus on the beam and I’ve only been training for a month now just to get back to my old routine. So it’s even better now that I won the gold medal [at the 2010 African championships] because I wasn’t expecting it at all,” she said. (excelsiorgymnastics.com.na, 07 Mar 2010) |
