It was going to take up to a year to recover. 

Not long after she made the decision to finish up her career in the sport. 

"I got back into training afterwards, I wanted to get back to fitness to make sure that I didn't turn to a bit of a slog," Nedov said.

"I trained for about four months, and then I thought to myself, 'okay, you know what, I think I've done the best, it's time to put the towel in and start making money'".

The Sydney-sider was working in marketing for the center she trained at, nothing about the job was related to gymnastics but being there gave her the motivation to get back into the sport. 

Coming back into gymnastics, Nedov didn't have high expectations, she just wanted to give it one more shot.

"I actually came back into the sport, with no high hopes, I sort of taken a lot of time off, it had been two years since my Achilles, and I came back with the mindset of 'okay, let's give it one more shot," she said.

"If it turns out that I can't do anymore, then I can't do it anymore if it turns out, but I'm really good at it, okay, great'.

"So everything that I've done has just been one more step and that's, as far as I'm looking with it."

However, despite having the spark to get back, her Achilles injury was difficult to get over. Not because of the physical pain but the mental barriers from how the injury occurred.
