One of Belgium's most promising 2016 Olympic team members, Axelle Klinckaert, sustained a knee injury in training and won't be traveling to Rio to compete at the Games. She will be replaced by Rune Hermans.
Klinckaert, a new senior this year, is widely known for her fun and expressive floor choreography. She would have been a strong all-around competitor for Belgium in Rio. Watch her floor routine from earlier this year at the Gymnix Challenge:
Best wishes to Axelle on a speedy recovery!
