JOHN OROZCO broke down in tears when he earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team in June. In the previous 18 months, his mother had died suddenly and he had come back from a torn Achilles tendon. Just a few weeks later, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus in his left knee at an Olympic team training camp. He won’t be going to Rio after all.
TORN HOPES: Gymnast John Orozco was attempting a horizontal bar dismount when he tore his ACL, ruling him out of the Rio Olympics.
