Video about Samantha Cerio's injury: a gymnast from Auburn wants people to stop sharing the video of the fall that's torn to their knees

The star gymnast who suffered serious leg injuries in a terrible autumn, last week asked everyone to stop sharing the video of the incident. Samantha Cerio, senior at Auburn University, tweeted on Wednesday: "My pain is not your entertainment."

According to Cerio's gymnastics coach, Jeff Gramba, she underwent successful surgery earlier this week, after his two knees were dislocated and multiple ligaments torn in the devastating fall. Although she is about to recover fully, it is difficult to watch for her and her loved ones.

"Passing through the pain and seeing my knees bent abnormally in real life was pretty awful, but continue to see it from videos / images because some people have the right to republish it, that's not okay" , wrote Cerio in a message that she shared on Twitter, reports KFMB of the CBS subsidiary. She has since made her Twitter account private.

"I have family members, friends and teammates who do not need to see me getting hurt again and again," added Cerio. "My pain is not your entertainment."

After his tweet, the Twitter account of the Auburn Gymnastics team shared a video featuring the major aerospace engineering. They wrote: "If there is a video you should watch from Sam Cerio, that's it."

At the NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championships in Baton Rouge last week, Cerio was in the first pass of her ground routine when she suffered the brutal crash. The video of the injury shows that she landed awkwardly on her legs after tipping through the air. Medical staff and trainers treated her for nearly 10 minutes before getting her off the ground. The crowd gave her a standing ovation when she left. She is recovering now after having been operated on.

Cerio, a native of North Carolina, received honors from the SEC in 2017 and 2018. She announced earlier this week that she was retiring from the sport in which she practiced most of her life. When she graduated in May, Cerio has a job in Boeing, Seattle, where she will work on rockets as a structural analysis engineer, according to her school's website.
