Nile Wilson out of World Championships due to finger injury


Olympic bronze medallist Nile Wilson has pulled out of the upcoming artistic gymnastics World Championships with a finger injury.

British Gymnastics has announced that Brinn Bevan will take his place in the Great Britain squad for the event in Doha starting later this month.

Wilson, who has been troubled by injuries since winning bronze on the high bar in Rio two years ago, suffered his latest problem in training on the parallel bars on Friday.

British Gymnastics is hopeful he will be back to full competition fitness later this year.
