Wang Yan, a 15-year-old Chinese gymnast felt into coma after she broke her neck in

an accidental falldown from uneven bars at the national championship held in Shanghai, June 10,2007.[sina.com] "I can sit first and then to walk, even to continue my gymnastic career as an athlete four four years further after that injury. I had the spinal fracture in the fifth and sixth bones, while Wang is in the second and third bones, but it's somewhat a similar case," added Gao.

Wang stumbled on the high bar on her dismount as she was trying somersaults on the uneven bars on Sunday at China's national gymnastics championship. According to the on-spot teammates, the whole body lost balance when Wang tripped over the bar on her dismount action.

Gao is optimistic for Wang to stand up some day. "Personally, I think she can recuperate. She could only move the toes in the right foot two days ago, but now she can move the right foot up and down.She can feel the hurt in the back and left leg and also can feel the tumidness and anaesthesia on both hands. To doctor's knowledge, it's a good sign. If she could not feel anything, it's indicating paralysis," said Gao.
