AUSTIN (USA): World decathlon champion Trey Hardee had successful surgery on the ACL in his right elbow. Hardee hurt himself in his last javelin throw at the world championships, knowing that he needed a big throw to win the gold medal. Once Hardee returned check-ups showed the ACL was fully blown and surgery was needed. Hardee will be able to throw in competitions as soon as April 2012 and keeps his goal of winning the 2012 Olympic Games.
LONDON (GBR): Athletics Weekly writes that showing off the scars on her ankle from the career-threatening fractures she endured earlier this year, 2008 World Junior Champion Stephanie Twell made a successful return to racing last weekend with the eighth fastest split of the day at the Aldershot and South of England Road Relays. The 22-year-old’s career looked to be in shreds in January when she broke her ankle in three places while leading a cross country race in Belgium. “I remember lying down and looking at my leg and I could see the bone underneath the skin at an odd angle,” she said of her injury. “It was a spiral fracture, diagonally up the bone, with a shard broken o? at the back.” She clocked 13:03, the eighth best time of the day and the fifth best in her Aldershot, Farnham & District team. She now plans to go to Kenya in November with the UKA squad and then race at the European cross country trials in Liverpool in late November. She is, she believes, also still on course to compete for Britain in the 1500m at the 2012 Olympics, followed by the 5000m in 2016 and the marathon in 2020.
