Nile Wilson: GB gymnast injured after 'freak accident' in training

English Olympic bronze medallist Nile Wilson could be out for a while subsequent to snapping lower leg tendons in preparing.

The 20-year-old, who won bronze on the high bar at Rio 2016, was harmed amid what he called an "essential" parallel bars routine on Wednesday.

Wilson said the "oddity mishap" brought on "exceptionally huge damage".

"I'll overcome this and return more grounded; the key is remaining extremely positive," he composed on Facebook.

Regardless of not breaking any bones, the damage could constrain Wilson to miss the European Championships in April.

He was a piece of Team GB's best ever Olympic tumbling execution, the squad winning seven decorations in Brazil.

Prior in 2016 he turned into the primary Briton to win European high bar gold.
