WAG ACL tear common in twisting?

[katlinchen]

I know many gymnasts who tore their ACL when they started doing layout fulls.

As I work in a gym, I have also seen some tears on vault as well when the girls were doing tsuks and yuris!

Are ACL tears really that common when it comes to twisting and vaulting or is it just a coincidence that I have seen quite a few in the past months?

I don't personally know anyone (apart from gabby Jupp) who has torn their ACL I don't think it is very common at least not in the part of the UK that I am from anyway and I certainly don't know anyone who has torn it on just tuck/pike tsuk/yurchenko

Happens yes, common NO do you have a pit?

Yes, we do have a pit.

I don't know, but I usually don't see any ACL tears in L6 or L7 but once our gymmies start training for harder vaults and twists, the knee and ankle injuries seem to speed up a lot here

Maybe just coincidence...
