The Maret Grothues Balkestein Injury In Rio

The Update

She may be out for 4-5 days BUT we’re happy to hear that nothing is broken.

Have a speedy recovery Maret! Your team needs you in the Quarterfinal Round!

The Injury

We hope her Olympic journey is NOT over because of this injury. The Netherlands needs her leadership and all around skills.

According to this report, nothing is broken in her knee so that’s a good news. However, there’s no word yet if she can still play in the Olympics.

More examinations will be done to determine how bad or serious the injury is.

The Netherlands is currently 1-1 in Pool Play. They won in 5 versus China but sadly lost a heartbreaking 5 set match against Team USA where Maret got injured in set 4.

On behalf of everyone, stay strong Maret and have a speedy recovery!!!
