U.S. gymnast Maggie Nichols recently underwent knee surgery and is out four to six weeks, U.S. national team coordinator Martha Karolyi said Sunday.
“She’s in rehab, and she has sufficient time to get back,” Karolyi said.
Nichols suffered a meniscus tear on an Amanar vault landing in training, according to multiple reports.
The return timetable could allow her to come back for the Secret U.S. Classic, a June 3-5 tune-up meet for the P&G Championships (June 23-26) and U.S. Olympic Trials (July 8-10).
The five-woman U.S. Olympic team will be named after the trials.
