She smiles! That's Brazil's Jade Barbosa beaming for the camera for a change during Carnival celebrations. The gymnast, who has been diagnosed with necrosis in her wrist and has been unable to train, is brightened by something new in her life: a boyfriend, according to her father Cesar Barbosa.
This is according to Globoesporte, which also reported that Jade’s father as saying that she has been able to do more and more gymnastically despite her wrist problems. But in the face of those who think she’s done (including this blog), he says: “She is sad because of not being bring in 100 percent, I cannot lie. But each day that passes, she manages to do something more…We are doing from everything in order that she competes again. She is a new girl, she still has other Olympiads ahead. We are going to support so that this problem in the fist is resolved.”
