Silné bolesti, neudržená moč a záchvat vzteku. Dvojnásobná mistryně světa byla tvrdě potrestána

Article arrow_drop_down

Jonesová se na dráhu bobistky dala v roce 2013, zúčastnila se olympijských her v Soči 2014 a v roce 2021 triumfovala s Kaillií Humphriesovou na mistrovství světa ve dvojbobech.

O dalším úspěchu snila na olympiádě v Miláně a Cortině d’Ampezzo příští rok. Jenže její plán dostal pořádnou trhlinu. Od konce února nemůže kvůli nehodě při tréninku navštěvovat olympijské centrum.

Během jedné z tréninkových jízd ztratila kontrolu nad bobem a utrpěla těžké zranění zad. „Měla jsem silné bolesti, kvůli nim jsem se také do bobu počůrala. Neřekla jsem to pilotovi, protože jsem se styděla. Kdybych to kolegyni řekla, byla by vystresovaná. Mou prací je naopak pilota uklidnit,“ uvedla pro web ocregister.com.

Ačkoliv měla druhý den přislíbenou masáž, ta jí nakonec byla zrušena. Údajně proto, že reprezentantky měly nárok jen na jednu masáž týdně, a tu už absolvovala. Vše se odehrálo v době, kdy do březnového světového šampionátu chyběl týden.

Jonesová byla vytočená do běla, a tak když potkala doktora Johna Faltuse, jenž jí léčbu zrušil, pěkně od plic mu vynadala. „Jak jsi mi to mohl udělat? Jsi zas*aný člověk.“

Na základě tohoto incidentu byl Jonesové na čtyři měsíce odepřen vstup do centra. Ze dne na den tak skončila s tréninkem a přípravou. „Výbor a Faltus mě potrestali za to, že jsem vyjádřila svou frustraci. Závodím za tuto zemi 20 let a jsem šokována zacházením, které se mi dostalo v posledních pěti měsících,“ napsala Jonesová na instagramu.

Nicméně světového šampionátu se zúčastnila, i když trpěla. Ve dvojbobu po boku Elany Taylorové skončily šesté. Po mistrovství světa si Jonesová na své náklady zaplatila magnetickou rezonanci a ta odhalila vyhřezlou ploténku a trhliny v obratlích.

„To znamená, že kdyby se nám jízda nepovedla a převrátily se, mohla jsem ochrnout. Nemusela bych chodit. A to jen proto, že mi zrušili plánovanou masáž, i když jsem měl ohromné bolesti,“ cituje Jonesovou zmíněný web.

Obě strany si pak vyměnily několik e-mailů, Jonesová se obrátila na ombudsmana, nicméně spor ještě není definitivně vyřešený. Mírnou náplastí pro talentovanou sportovkyni je ale fakt, že se na konci měsíce může vrátit k plnohodnotnému tréninku.

Nuggets President Josh Kroenke Mentions Nikola Jokic Trade Scenario Out Of Nowhere

<!--> Two seasons removed from winning the NBA Finals, the Denver Nuggets are still one of the elite teams in the NBA, and Nikola Jokic has earned MVP honors in three of the past five seasons. Surely, there's no scenario where the Nuggets would trade Jokic … right?Right?Their team president may say otherwise:"I think that for us, as an organization, going into that second apron is not necessarily something that we're scared of. I think that there are rules around it that we need to be very careful of with our injury history. The wrong person gets injured, and very quickly you're into a scenario that I never want to have to contemplate, and that's trading No. 15 [Jokic]," Nuggets president Josh Kroenke said on Tuesday.

Were the Rockets the best spot for Kevin Durant? Evaluating 3 other options

Melissa Rohlin FOX Sports NBA Writer <!--> Were the Houston Rockets really the best landing spot for Kevin Durant?Since leaving the Golden State Warriors in free agency in 2019, Durant hasn’t made it past the second round of the playoffs during his stints with the Brooklyn Nets (2019-2023) or the Phoenix Suns (2023-2025) despite the former team having a stacked roster with Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden and the latter having Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. The NBA is most fun when its biggest stars are playing meaningful basketball. Both LeBron James and Stephen Curry are now in situations where they could compete for a title, with James teaming up with Luka Doncic on a Los Angeles Lakers team that was eliminated in the first round of the 2025 playoffs and Curry now playing alongside Jimmy Butler on the Warriors, […]

Celtics reportedly trade Kristaps Porzingis to Hawks

<!--> The Boston Celtics reportedly traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal. The Hawks sent Terance Mann and the No. 22 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets, and Georges Niang to the Celtics. Porzingis is the second piece the Celtics have moved in as many days as they attempt to dump significant contracts from their books to avoid the punitive second-apron. The Lithuanian big-man was key to the Celtics' success over his two seasons in Boston, but wasn't much of a factor in either of their postseason runs as he struggled with injuries. Still, he'll provide the Hawks with rim protection and floor spacing. He's averaged 19.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks, while shooting 36.6% from 3-point range over his 9-year NBA career. And, when he's healthy, he's a versatile and lengthy big […]
