Helen Kevric, the star gymnast from Germany, encountered a major setback at the 2025 Gymnastics European Championships in Leipzig. The 17-year-old prodigy suffered a knee injury that turned out to be a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a patellar tendon issue - both alike formidable obstacles for a gymnast, generally demanding a considerable recovery period.
During the all-around competition on the vault, Kevric stumbled after landing, taking a step back before falling back, leading to the injury. Subsequent examinations confirmed a patellar tendon issue, with the European Gymnastics Union mentioning that Kevric, who finished 8th in the all-around at the Paris Olympics, had indeed sustained the injury.
Swift action followed, as Kevric underwent surgery at Stuttgart a day later to mend her damaged knee joint. A small bone, previously identified through an MRI, was also "refixed" during the procedure at the Stuttgart clinic. The German Gymnastics Federation, known as DTB, provided no precise timeline for Kevric's absence from competition.
Kevric's recovery process appears to be extensive, lasting several months, according to both Kevric's statements and the latest medical consensus. A typical rehabilitation for a patellar tendon injury coupled with an ACL tear in elite gymnasts spans anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on the severity and surgical approach. However, the recovery duration for Kevric remains undisclosed.
Displaying an admirable spirit, Kevric has expressed optimism and gratitude for her medical care while focusing on healing under the watchful eye of experts. The gymnastics community, including fans and officials alike, have rallied around the young athlete, praising her resilience and eagerly anticipating her comeback.
| Injury Type | Typical Recovery Time | Kevric’s Reported Timeline ||----------------------------|----------------------|-----------------------------------|| ACL + Patellar Tendon Tear | 6–12+ months | Out for "months" (exact TBD) |
In the early stages of her recovery, Kevric is embracing patience and a step-by-step approach to rehabilitation. The future is uncertain, but one thing is certain: Helen Kevric will bounce back, stronger than ever.
