Last Day of US Open Injuries

[terryl965]

Hello and it is with sadness I write today, my own family the 1st son Zachary Ramos-Stoker had his left knee blown out today during the 1st round of the tournament he will be out for atleast 4-6 weeks. It is the Mutrol cartil ligament (mispelled) of the inner knee will see a specailist tommorrow to schedule surgery and then re-hap. His hope and dream are schattered at this point for he did not medal at his first US Open, I'm hoping the mental toughness will be able to overcome the failure as he puts it, so competitive about his Art or Sport.

On the other hand TXBB son Joseph had a great match even though he lost 8-3 this was probaly the best he has fought in over a year. I'm very proud of him he did what we tought him and he stayed competitive.

Al i All this was a great US Open all the matches was fair and equal and the best and superior athlete won for the most part.

Thanks Everybody
Terry Lee Stoker

Sorry to hear about your son's injury. Hope the recuperation goes well!

Good job to you and TX BB for your students' performances! Even if they did not medal, if they tried their best and performed better than they have in the past, they've improved.

That's a shame about Zachary. I really hope he recovers soon and stays the course. It will definatly take some time and he will have to overcome some depression over it. That's quite unavoidable with that type of injury. I hope he comes back stronger than before!

Terry,

Please send Zachery my warmest wishes on a speedy recovery. His love for the sport and competition of TKD will help him recover quickly and get him back on the mat. His spirit will be his best rehab.

Congrats to Joseph and to you for being the great coach that you are.

I believe it was a cut kick that was a tiny bit low and long to the back side of the back knee.

Was there a (gamjeon) penalty given to the other competitor? A Cut kick to the back leg would seem to be intentional.... Was Zachery kicking when this occurred (trying to picture this in my mind)?

Sorry to hear about your son's injury. Sometimes it is harder to watch those you love be in pain than to be in pain yourself. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Zachary has a blown MCL of the inner portion of the left leg he will be fine. He is like ripping at the thought of no training for the next couple of weeks before he starts rehab, then April 29th is the date we set for tournaments again so we shall see..

I do wish to thank everybody here on MT he has loved the extra attention from it and it has helped with the mental picture as well.
