Joe Smith, pictured with his team mates, will arrive back on Island this evening

The two injured Manx gymnasts will leave Delhi later this week.

Joe Smith and Olivia Curran were ruled out of the Commonwealth Games whilst training last week.

Joe, who snapped his achilles whilst practising his floor routine, has already left India, and will arrive back on Island this evening.

Olivia tore her alterior cruciate ligament when she slipped in her bars routine. She'll leave Delhi on Friday.

Both wanted to remain at the Games to watch their team mates compete, but have been advised to return to the Island to begin treatment at Noble's.
