Appleton injured
British Juniors Champion, Aaron Appleton, pulls out of the Men’s competition over injury fears. Appleton (18) was due to compete in two events at the British Gymnastics Championship in Birmingham later this month. According to coach, Joel Watson, Appleton has ‘a minor wrist injury which will not impact the long and bright future ahead of him’.
‘We’re playing it safe and resting Aaron’s wrist,’ adds Watson. ‘It’s disappointing for everyone, especially Aaron, having missed out on gold in the championship last year, but Aaron has the Olympics to think about, and that’s what we’re focusing on right now.’
Although after a date and time-stamped training video, showing Appleton performing on the pommel horse without any signs of injury, was uploaded onto YouTube yesterday, there is now speculation that his recent decision to pull out of the Championships has more to do with his sister, Lizzie Appleton, who after being diagnosed with a brain tumour is taking part in a Channel 6 documentary, The Girl with Three Months to Live.

Lizzie: ‘I really wanted to fall in love.’
The girl with three months to live admits her one regret is never being in love. In an emotional video diary Lizzie explains that love has passed her by, and with Harrison now out of the picture, love for Lizzie is looking even less likely.
Ratings for the Channel 6 documentary continue to soar as Lizzie, along with friends, Jaddi and Samantha, land in America for the final leg of their journey.
The Channel 6 website even crashed on Monday morning after the documentary production team uploaded a sneak preview of one of Lizzie’s video diaries, which went viral within minutes.
Emotions have been running high in recent episodes as Lizzie temporarily lost her sight, and broke up with her Australian boyfriend, Harrison Kelly. Things look set to continue hotting up as the girls begin their US tour in Los Angeles with front row tickets for Guy Rawson’s sell-out tour.
