Commonwealth swimming champion Liam Tancock breaks wrist
Commonwealth swimming champion Liam Tancock is now doubtful for the European Swimming Championships after he broke his wrist.
Liam Tancock, 20, who won gold in Melbourne in the 100m backstroke, injured himself after falling down a flight of stairs at home.
Liam Tancock had been included in the British squad for the Euros in Budapest from 26 July but now will have to miss out.
