Back injury to taekwondo Olympian Jade Jones out of action until December 2013

A recent back injury with pain now affecting her leg has taken Olympian Jade Jones out of action until December 2013. She is expected to have a full recovery.

However, Ms. Jones was devastated for missing out on the World Championships in Mexico last July. Speaking about her back Ms. Jones said, “It started before the Worlds but I obviously had to train with it and just get through the sessions really. Now is a good time to get it fixed.”

She hopes to compete in the Grand Prix events beginning this December and to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero.
