James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Plushenko told reporters that 50,000 bolts were used in the operation to insert artificial intervertebral discs into his spine. Usually, two or three bolts break down, the athlete added. “Good thing it ended this way because I could have been left paralyzed,” Plushenko concluded.
