Michelle Smith

Michelle has asked me (Mike) to update her blog as she doesn’t have an internet connection at this time, so here goes…………

Well the day started with everyone packing for a move to another hotel and for some Pre-event training – but things didn’t quite go to plan.

When at the range (which is somewhat of a building site) collecting rifles from the armoury Aaron Heading said, of the obstacle that was in the way, “Someone is going to have a nasty accident climbing over that” and sure enough only 30 seconds later someone did……………Yep you guessed it – Michelle – Ouch!!!!

She has managed to badly sprain her ankle so unfortunately she willl not be competing in the first pairs competition tomorrow.  The England Medical Team will be assessing the injury on a daily basis to see if she will be able to compete in any of the 3 Positional or Air Rifle competitions over the next few days.

As you can imagine this is a big blow for Michelle and the England Team coming after putting in so many hours of hard work and seeing some extremely good training results during the England Training Camp and back at Havant Rifle Club.

Please check back for further updates and join me in wishing her well for a very quick recovery.

Mike
