IFBB Pro Shanique Grant Stabbed Before the O

IFBB Figure Pro Shanique Grant Stabbed Before the O

"So as some of you may know... Monday night, I was set up and was jumped by three girls... In the process of fighting them off one pulled out a knife and stabbed me 2.5-3 inches deep into my forearm, I lost almost 1 liter of blood by time I was officially stitched up (10 stitches). I'm currently suffering from moderate nerve damage, major swelling and torn muscle tissue so physical therapy will be needed very soon.

With that being said, I'm sad to say I will not be competing in my ultimate dream at 21 years old...the 2016 Olympia for I will not be able to train nor perform at my best due to my injury. Things happen, I'm not going to say I'm OK. But I am trying to cope with this in the most professional and calming way as possible."

As of Monday, the IFBB's youngest Figure Pro (and the winner of the NY Pro) said that she had her 3rd E.R visit, found out she has a major Hematoma in her forearm. She said the pain is still extreme but tolerable thanks to medications. She said the removal of stitches has been delayed another week.
