The excitement of Olympia Jessica Jaderova to return to the competition at the end of this week is saturated because she knows that her twin sister is about to start the same exhausting rehabilitation that I just finished.
Jennifer will perform surgery to repair the damage of the front cruciate ligament on Wednesday, a few days after Jessica returns to her return from the same injury in the British Championship in Liverpool.
“To know that she is going through what I have during the year and a half last year, it affects my heart,” Jessica told the BBC Sport.
“I feel that I am competing for it too. I give her the opportunity to know that you can return from any injury, regardless of the time the operation takes.”
Jessica, the comprehensive European champion, who suffered from an ACL injury in a “strange accident” in the 2023 global gymnastics championship, endured a “very long operation” to rebuild its power and fitness over time with the “lack of a quick solution.”
“I am a little tense to compete because it was short since I was in a square, but the competition is what I like to do, it gives me excitement at the same time.
“We took it nice and slow to make sure it was done correctly. It was difficult in the moments when something became very easy to become very difficult. For example, just lift my heels from the ground.
“This was a big challenge. But with the passage of time, I fought through this feeling of abandoning or not doing small details in rehabilitation, and it became easier.”
However, Jessica will only compete for bars and rays with basic discrimination processes because it works to return to all four devices by the end of the year.
She is now hoped to be able to pay her sister for the support and assistance she received when the roles are reversed after Jennifer surgery.
“I think fate was like” no, you remain twin regardless of what. “

Jennifer said: “Not many people can say they were injured, so it is a unique story that we have done,” Jennifer said.
“We want to be there in Los Angeles in the 2028 Olympics and be as appropriate and as strong as possible.
“We want to do the largest possible number of competitions in this tournament to build our skills and return us there as a twin on the big stage.”
