Maria Shurochkina's burn area increased to 32% of her body. The doctors reclassified her condition from moderate to severe due to the danger to her life.
According to Mash on Sports, an athlete has no skin on her head, neck, chest, stomach, arms and hands. Therefore, blood flow is impaired in these places, which causes cells to die and tissue necrosis begins. Shurochkina's condition has seriously deteriorated, as there is a life-threatening risk of shock, dehydration and infections.
In the past she faced several surgeries (including skin grafts). The worst case scenario is if she was wearing synthetic clothing. In this case, the tissue may burn into the flesh and increase the risk of infection in the affected areas.
