Cruel blow as second Aussie swimmer ruled out of Commonwealth Games

Aussie swimmer Tommy Neill has joined Kaylee McKeown in withdrawing from the Commonwealth Games in a cruel blow for the double Olympian. Swimming World is reporting that the Queenslander won't be on the flight to Glasgow from the team's training base in Germany due to a hand injury.

The 24-year-old was set to make his Commonwealth Games debut in the six-day event starting on Friday in Scotland, after being selected for the 200m individual medley. But his Comm Games dream has been ruined by the injury he suffered during camp in Darmstadt.

Neill is a two-time Olympic bronze medallist after being part of the 4x200m freestyle relay teams in Tokyo in 2021 and Paris in 2024. It's a shattering blow for the 24-year-old who's battled elbow and shoulder issues over the last two years.
