Romanian Iordache out of worlds with torn Achilles
Print Edition
Romanian Larisa Iordache was forced to pull out of the gymnastics world championships after incurring a torn left Achilles tendon during warm-up for qualifying on Wednesday.
Iordache had been one of the favorites for the women鈥檚 all-round final in Montreal in the absence of several American competitors, including Olympic champion Simone Biles. 鈥淚 never thought that I am so loved,鈥 Iordache said on Twitter after an outpouring of social media support from fellow competitors, including Biles. Iordache, 21, left the arena in a wheelchair. The International Gymnastics Federation, citing the Romanian Federation, later confirmed the injury was a torn Achilles. It is the second successive year that injury has kept Iordache out of a major competition. After claiming a bronze medal in the team event at the 2012 London Olympics, she missed last year鈥檚 Rio Olympics due to a broken finger. The men鈥檚 competition in Montreal had already lost major drawcard Japan鈥檚 Kohei Uchimura.
