I get that they are a dedicated sportsman. But why suffer a permanent injury when you could just recover over a few months and come back next olympics? Seems a bit of an overreaction to me!

Next Olympics is 4 years and a lot could happen before then. And they have been training and working themselves up for this Olympics. I get it.

My dad had part of a finger mangled pretty bad. Couple operations and a skin graft went into saving it. Function never came back. He can only bend it part way. Amputation would have been a shorter recovery with the same level of function.

He’s 30 and it’s not a guarantee he can be in the next one
