LONDON IMPASSE
In July 2012 she suffered a muscle cramp in her left thigh while competing at the Olympic Games in London, which made her lose balance and fall. She was struck by the bar, and was unable to complete her lift. "That's the kind of thing I would like to forget. At least it's over now, it's just another life experience."
