On Monday, the gymnast underwent surgery on both legs and she hopes to fully recover before her wedding in June when she will marry her fiance Trey Wood.

Louisiana State University (LSU) President Fieldon King Alexander visited Cerio in hospital and wished her a speedy recovery.

I had the opportunity to visit @AuburnGym’s @sam_cerio this weekend. What a wonderful, inspiring young lady. I have no doubt she will overcome this injury and go on to do amazing things,” he wrote on Twitter.
