 Maria Kyridou (rowing)

 

She didn't qualify yet, but was 5th in the women's pair in Tokyo as a 20 yo, and was planning on going to the final qualification regatta in the women's double sculls with her sister Anneta (who competed in the single scull in Tokyo). Unfortunately, Maria has a foot injury and just got surgery earlier this week.

 

Meanwhile, Anneta since last month started training again for the single sculls while her sister has been injured.

 Bruno Fratus, Swimming 50 Freestyle bronze olympic medalist! 

 

He had knee surgery in February and it ruined all his preparation and physical condition! There were expectations that he would participate in the Brazilian trials next week, but he announced his withdrawal!

I thought he retired.

 Asia D'amato - Artistic Gymnastics 

 

 

Asia fell badly during her FX performance yesterday at the European qualifiers! She has already had two injuries in the last two years!
 

 

EDIT:  An information appeared on some gymnastics portals about an ACL! Asia, however, said she still doesn't know how serious it is! Let's hope it's not something that serious! She deserves to go to Paris!

I think it's now safe to say,  that with 3 of the 5 woman world championship medal team likely to miss Paris, Britain will not be winning an Olympic team medal

Urgh. I hate injuries. Can't we wrap all the athletes in cotton wool until Paris?!?
