British Gymnastics has released that Nile Wilson has withdrawn from all-around finals due to a wrist injury. The top 24 gymnasts from qualifications move on to all-around finals and Wilson finished 13th overall.
Nile said “I’m obviously very disappointed, as I’m feeling great otherwise and have been really enjoying my first World Championships but my wrist was pretty sore today so I made the decision to pull out and save myself for the high bar final. The medical staff and coaches are unanimous that this is the right decision to make. I’ll be right behind Max and Dan Purvis in the all-around and can’t wait for the high bar on Sunday.”
Great Britain teammates Dan Purvis finished 10th and Max Whitlock finished 14th. Because of the two per country rule, Whitlock was originally not able to compete in finals. Now without Wilson, Whitlock will compete.
