Not when someone's in the air and about to land their vault, especially when it's not your gymnasts or a gymnasts from your country. But honestly I wouldn't know what goes on in these competitions and rules. I'm just glad she got 10 million or something and justice because she was asking for 1 billion which was a bit crazy.
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 To answer my own comment, Sang was told to do a timer. Once she began, she became unfocused and started doing a different vault so in midair, she stopped rotated causing her to be paralyzed.
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Where did you hear this? It could be true but an international coach actually also pulled the mat which caused her to freak out and thus the paralyzed incident occurred.
Why does there have to be someone who is "at fault"?! Can't it just be an accident! Yes yes yes it is horribly tragic. I don't question that at all. But an accident is an accident, right?! It would be one thing if the vault was not set at the correct height etc. But that was not the case! I find this lawsuit outrageous. Taking advantage of the USAs crazy sue-happy system. Absolutely atrocious.
@usagurl14 I don't want to say the wrong name but a very popular international coach pulled a mat while she was vaulting in the air. This was not a accident. Everyday people in the USA sue for some of the most stupid things you can imagine. This lawsuit was not outrageous. There were also a lot of other issues at hand that you and I don't know.
I think it should be noted that USAG was not involved in the suit in any way. Sang Lan sued the insurance carriers, Time Warner and her guardians in New York. Time Warner was later dropped from the suit. She sued because the insurance companies would not pay her medical expanses when she was in China. The settlement will now provide her with health care over the course of her lifetime in China and the USA.
You Should really change the title of the video because the USAG has nothing to do with this law suit!
