Australian swimming champion to pull out of the Olympics

Australian triple gold medallist Jodie Henry won’t be competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She is suffering from a pelvic injury that will prevent her from competing in the Olympic trials to be held in Sydney next month.

“Basically it’s an imbalance in my muscles around my pelvic area which means that every time I swim or do any sort of aerobic exercise I get pain,” said Jodie Henry.

Even though she won’t be competing in the Olympics, she still plans to compete in the sport.

“It’s a little bit hard to train when you’re curled up in pain. I am pleased because now that my injury has been finally diagnosed I can start on the road to recovery.”
