Drama at the 2022 European Gymnastics Championships! French gymnast Lorette Charpy shocked audiences during the uneven bars final in Munich when she collapsed onto the mat after landing her double layout dismount. The distressing scene, caught on camera, left spectators and fellow athletes deeply concerned.

Charpy later revealed she had torn her ACL in the landing—a crushing blow, especially since she had already endured a similar ACL injury just 18 months earlier, forcing her to miss the Tokyo Olympics.

Despite the painful setback, Charpy’s resilience shone through. She bravely attended the victory ceremony for the bars final, without revealing the full extent of her injury. Her unshakable dedication has inspired the gymnastics world, which is rallying around her as she begins her recovery.
