U.S. Olympic gymnast John Orozco retore an Achilles tendon Monday and will have surgery Friday, according to his social media.
“My family life, my career, and my spirit seem to all be falling apart and crumbling into pieces,” was posted on Orozco’s Instagram and Facebook. “My faith has really been shaken these past few months. I just keep asking myself “why is this happening right now?” “Where’s the lesson in this?” I’m counting my blessings and weathering this storm because it’s the only choice I have.”
Orozco, 22, also tore an Achilles in 2010 and battled back to win the 2012 U.
