Irina Tchachina 2001 Goodwill Games Bleeding Knee

The bandage on her knee came off during her AA rope routine ( I wonder why she had a sore on her left knee? perhaps the new COP at the time)

they do quite a lot of sliding on those carpets and that is gonna give you a burn mark, and eventually if you keep repeating it you will break the skin and it will bleed. and then when there's a scab of dried blood there to protect the skin healing itself underneath, whenever you rip the scab off you'll start bleeding again. as for the bandages, they work really hard and most likely have minor injuries/tweaks more or less all the time, like other gymnasts/elite athletes

Her feet are always wraped up somehow. Her knee or ancle. What sort of damage does she have?

Why is she bleeding? I thought that she had internal damages to prevent further pain.
