Personal life[]
Glas was born on August 30, 1994, in Broek op Langedijk, Netherlands. She has two siblings.
Gymnastics career[]
Glas began gymnastics at the age of three when her parents took her to a local gym, BSV / ODIS. Glas was one of the most promising junior elite gymnasts on the Dutch Junior National Team and was a contender to compete at the 2008 European Junior Gymnastic Championships.[1] However, on October 26, 2007, she was severely injured in an accident on vault.[2]
While in training, Glas was performing a round-off half-on, a variation of the Yurchenko type vault,[3] when her hands missed the vault table and she fell on her head. She severely damaged her sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae, warranting extensive surgery in which neurosurgeons took a piece of her hip bone and placed it in her neck for stabilization. Glas and her family were told that she would never walk again, but she made a full recovery.[4][5]
