Lithuania’s Agata Vostruchovaite hoped to show her new routines at the European Championships but got a knee injury on vault at her very first practice in Glasgow. In the end, she had to scratch all events except for bars:
A: I got injured on vault the very first day here. I did a new vault and strained knee ligaments.
Q: Is it very serious?
A: Well, not too serious, but it takes a long time to heal. It’s so upsetting, I was very well prepared for the competition and to get injured like that at the last second.
Q: How long do you think the recovery will take?
A: I’m going to do everything I can in order to recover because I’m going to Worlds soon. I don’t know, I haven’t been home yet, I’ll have to go to the doctor at home.
Q: What are your plans for the next year? Will you add any new elements?
A: I have new elements on all events. I wanted to try them out here but this didn’t happen, so I’ll have to try at Worlds.
