Unfortunately I had an ankle problem and underwent three operations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
Oh, gosh, okay... well, my biggest injury was probably a bone chip in my ankle that required surgery.
Whenever I have a little time off, I try to go back to my farm in South Africa. I'll spend time with my family and hunt antelope, kudu and springbok. During a 2010 hunting trip, I tore some ligaments in my ankle when I stepped in a hole.
I have had two knee surgeries on my right knee: that was my jumping leg that I jumped off for years and years.
I almost had to have my leg amputated because of an infection.
I got injured at the Olympic Trials in 2000. I could not jump. I could not walk on my leg properly. I couldn't bend my knee. I couldn't straighten it.
The worst injury I ever had was a stress fracture from running.
I had fractures in my spine that had to be repaired that came as a big surprise; nobody warned me that I might get some really severe, threatening fractures. It was painful, and I lost two inches of height, bang!
When I was 18, I broke my leg, and my shin came right through - like I had two knees.
I've had 36 orthopedic operations, have two fused ankles, my knees, hands and wrists don't work, I now have a fused spine, other than that, everything is great.
