Former Chinese gymnast Sang Lan, who was left paralysed after a fall at the 1998 Goodwill Games, is looking for an American lawyer to help her sue the organisers of the event.
Sang, then 17, broke her neck and was confined to a wheelchair for life after landing on her head during vault practice at the fourth Goodwill Games in New York.
"Poor management and bad organisation on site were the reasons for the accident," Sang wrote on her blog

ReplyDeleteBecause sports (and music) depend largely on "muscle memory". When she was distracted, the muscle memory was disturbed and she missed the jump she could have done without the distraction.
