Auburn senior Samantha Cerio said the constant circulation of the clip is affecting her and those close to her.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREA gymnast who suffered gruesome injuries during a competition is asking people to stop circulating video of the incident.
Cerio dislocated both of her knees and ruptured multiple ligaments in her legs during a floor routine at an NCAA regional semifinal meet with LSU on Friday. She had surgery to repair the injuries on Monday, and Tigers coach Jeff Graba called the procedure "an extreme success." "Those of you posting and tagging me in the video of my injury, I am asking you to please stop," Cerio wrote on Twitter. "Going through the pain and seeing my knees bent unnaturally in real life was horrible enough, but to continue to see it from videos/pictures because some people feel entitled to repost it is not okay. I have family, friends and teammates who do not need to see me getting injured over and over again.
