The severity of the condition was first noted when she was spotted wearing a cast during an MVP event, leading to the official confirmation of the double hand break. Coverage of the situation is widespread across sports and combat arts outlets.
BBC reports on the emotional toll of the injury, quoting Ditcheva as saying, 'I've cried non-stop.'
