Imke Glas

Imke Glas (born 30 August 1994) is a Dutch artistic gymnast.

Glas was born on 30 August 1994 in Broek op Langedijk, Netherlands.

Glas began gymnastics at the age of three when her parents took her to a local gym, BSV / ODIS.

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 and was able to return to participating in gymnastics at a lower level.
