CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREThe college gymnast who severely injured both of her legs at a competition earlier this month said she's hopeful she'll be able to walk down the aisle at her wedding this summer.
"I know I'm really stubborn," Cerio said of walking down the aisle, "and I know I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen." — TODAY April 15, 2019Cerio told the "Today" show that she didn't think there was anything unusual about that routine, or that competition. She felt "a little off" while in the air but said she's normally able to pull off that sequence — or, at worst, "end up on my butt."
Video of the incident circulated on social media last week while Cerio began the recovery process, prompting the gymnast to release a message on Twitter urging people to stop viewing and sharing the video. She said it was impacting those close to her and forcing her to relive a difficult moment in her life, adding "my pain is not your entertainment."
