Injured Komissarova to continue treatment in Spain

Komissarova, who was left paralysed from the waist down after a fall during training on Feb. 15, had already spent two months in Germany undergoing a series of operations.

"Following Maria's return from Germany, we offered the chance to undertake a rehabilitation course at a specialist centre called Goluboe Ozero (Light Blue Lake) not far from Moscow and also at a rehabilitation centre in Moscow," the head doctor of the Russian Freestyle Federation, Mirzali Samedov, said.

"The Russian medics who were looking after Komissarova believed this would be the best course to take. The German specialists who initially looked after her also believed this to be the best course of action.

"However, Maria had different plans, and she, along with her boyfriend, wanted to continue her treatment in Spain. They are now at a clinic in Marbella."
