Kayla DiCello shares her thoughts regarding her comeback to gymnastics
Kayla DiCello recently opened up about her recovery process and her plans to come back to the elite gymnastics circuit.
In a recent interview, DiCello shared that she has not made a decision so far regarding her elite gymnastics career and it depends majorly on her recovery. Additionally, she also shared an update about her recovery and said that it is going quite well. She said (via Olympics.com):
"That (elite gymnastics) ahas never left my mind. There’s really no decision right now. Right now, I’m really just focused on getting back, seeing how this first year back in college goes, and then making a decision from there. My rehab is going pretty well. I recently had surgery on my other foot, so I’m probably a little behind… just trying to get the left one to the same level so I can start jumping again."
During the conversation, Kayla DiCello also stated that despite not competing in the Florida Gator meets, she still plays an important role as a senior member of the team. Notably, she was part of the Gators side that bagged a silver at the 2023 NCAA event.
