From various sources these stories and pictures came. First from the IAAF website, the account of Kira Grunberg's pole vaulting injury and rehabilitation. Grunberg , a world class Austrian vaulter was rendered a paraplegic this summer prior to the Beijing WC's. To read this article is heartening but also very, very sad to see a young person ending up this way. We can only hope that she will continue to make progress and be able to resume her studies in pharmacy somewhere down the line.
