Bizarné zranenie pozemnej hokejistky: Manželov nevinný žart jej ukončil kariéru!

Keď sa počas dovolenky srdečne zasmiala manželovu vtipu, zaklonila pri tom hlavu a udrela sa do steny. Následky boli takmer fatálne. Bolesti ju prenasledujú aj po takmer roku a pol a sen o ďalšej olympijskej medaile musela vzdať.

Život sa jej zmenil v septembri roku 2018 počas dovolenky v Keni. Spočiatku nevinná príhoda sa premenila na boj o život, kapitánka zlatého tímu z olympijského turnaja v Riu de Janeiro na čas prestala hovoriť, vadil jej aj najmenší zvuk, svetlo či dotyk. "Po dlhých osemnástich mesiacoch a skvelých 18 rokoch so športom je na čase odísť do dôchodku," napísala na Instagrame najlepšia strelkyňa olympijských turnajov v Riu aj Londýne o štyri roky skôr. Tam pomohla domácim Britkám k bronzovým medailám.

• 🔥Today I retire from International Hockey🔥 • • After a very difficult 17 months I have come to realise that my priorities have changed and I can no longer be the athlete I have been, so proudly and for so long • The challenge of returning to play following my head injury is too much, and the risks too high • This is not a sad retirement. I have played more games in more tournaments than I could ever have dreamt of. I have made life long friends, travelled the world and loved every single minute of my career • I end my playing days completely content, proud of how I committed every day for 18 years and thankful to have had the most incredible people by my side. I look back and have not one single regret. I lived my dream • There are so many people I must thank • Firstly, my school PE teachers and @altonhockeyclub ; I’ve never forgotten my roots and I will be forever indebted to you for starting me out on this journey • To every teammate I have ever played with. I will never forget the places we travelled, the training that half-killed us, and the pure joy of pulling on a shirt and standing next to you. Medals are amazing, but they mean nothing without the experiences we had in their pursuit • To all the coaches and support staff I have worked with over the years. You truly made me want to be better every day. Thank you for moulding me into the hockey player and person that I have became • To @stevefry789 @englandhockey @gbhockey and everyone that has been in my corner, as a sponsor, hockey player, supporter or volunteer. Thank you, without you none of this would have been possible • To Alex, you were there at the start and are with me at the end, isn’t it funny how life is meant to be ❤️ • And finally, to my family and friends You have lived every moment with me. You are the centre of my life. I would have nothing without you. Mum and Dad, I owe you everything • You have all inspired me and made me the athlete I became. I learnt, I grew and I gave it everything I had • • • 306 and Out • • Alex. X • • • • • • • #ifyoudonottrywithallyouhaveyouwillneverknow #retirement #thankful #blessed

Podľa lekárov utrpela mierne poranenie hlavy, krvácanie sa nepotvrdilo. Keď sa dala po viac ako roku ako tak do poriadku, skúsila pred pár dňami znovu trénovať. Návrat ale autorka 115 reprezentačných gólov a majiteľka radu medailí z majstrovstiev Európy vzdala. "Výzva vrátiť sa a zase hrať je hrozne veľká, ale riziká príliš vysoké," dodala.
