From Wikipedia:
Baiul won the 1993 World Figure Skating Championship in her first senior competitive season at the age of 15. She then won the gold medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics, defeating Nancy Kerrigan of the United States. Baiul had nearly missed competing in the free skate altogether, having been injured after a collision with Tanja Szewczenko of Germany during a warm-up session following the ladies' short program. She received two Olympic-approved pain-killing injections of anesthetics in her lower back and shoulder which enabled her to perform and complete her free skate.
This is really just me being lazy. But does anyone have the exact details of her injuries and such? Like -- I know that she had three stitches as well, but how exactly did she get hurt and so on? How bad was it? And so on.
