Paralyzed former gymnastics champion gives birth to boy
Online Edition
PARALYZED former gymnast Sang Lan gave birth to a 2.85-kilogram baby boy by Cesarean section this morning in Beijing, her family members announced on her microblog.
The 33-year-old is the first patient with a cervical spinal cord injury that has successfully delivered a baby by C-section in China.
Sang, a former member of China's national women's gymnastics team, fell during warm ups for the vault event final at the Goodwill Games in New York on July 22, 1998. The fall left her paralyzed from the mid-chest down.
After remaining in New York for almost a year for treatment, she returned to China and became a television personality.
She was an ambassador for Beijing's successful 2008 Olympics bid and was selected as an Olympic relay torchbearer.
