Australian track star Sally Pearson pulled out of the Commonwealth Games today after failing to recover from an Achilles problem, dealing a heavy blow to the event.
Sally expressed disappointment but added that she needed to give herself the best chance of competing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Sally Pearson has previously won Gold in the 100 metres Hurdles at the 2010 and 2014 Games, but she missed out on a medal in Melbourne in 2006 and was forced to pull out of the Rio Olympics with a hamstring injury.
