“My journey hasn’t been a simple one, and I’m still tackling obstacles as they come.” Unexpected challenges sidelined Shilese Jones in 2024. The leading Paris Olympics candidate first faced a shoulder injury at the Xfinity National Championships. And then, had to bow out of the Olympic race due to an ACL and meniscus tear in the knee while warming up on vault. Guess these injuries were so complicated that they have been pushing her into the hospital to date. Yes, there’s been a recent update.
As per a March 3rd Instagram post, Shilese Joned just underwent a second surgery related to the same injury that she sustained, the one that kept her away from Paris. In a post that looks like her pre/post-surgery picture right from the hospital bed, she wrote, “2nd times the charm [sparkle emoji].” She also wrote, “Every scar is a testament to my resellience, a reminder of what I’ve overcome.” And she ended it with a simple, “One step closer to feeling my best.”
