 due to a serious head injury to Hoffmann while training in the U.S. on 4 March 2009.
"I was doing backwards crossovers, slipped and sat on the ice. But the gate was open and I fell into it, hit my head, lost consciousness and my ear was bleeding. I also cracked my skull and suffered three hemorrhages on my brain. I was immediately taken to the hospital and the doctors observed the hemorrhages because if they had increased, they would have had to open my skull. Luckily that didn’t happen but I still had to spend a long time in the hospital. I was given morphine to ease the pain and after that I immediately wanted to skate! The next day I refused the morphine saying: I’m going to Worlds and morphine is classified as doping... Even after one day I had withdrawal symptoms; I was cold, I vomited... And because of the bleeding I didn’t hear on my left ear for three months. The skull was cracked exactly where the middle ear is so I also had problems with my balance. I had to learn to walk a straight line, I couldn’t stand on one leg and my head was constantly spinning."
—Nóra Hoffmann on her accident.


Zavozin stayed with her at the hospital until her boyfriend arrived to take her back to Hungary. Oxygen therapy helped reactivate her brain cells, "This therapy brought me back to a normal life. Until then I was just sleeping or staring at nothing. In the oxygen tent my vitality returned and not so much later I even dared to go back on the ice." She returned to the ice in the second half of May 2009 and eventually began training again with Zavozin, although they had to omit lifts and spins for a while. The accident also resulted in a torn nerve in the sciatic muscle which took half a year to heal.
