Triathlete Helen Jenkins, who represented Team GB at the 2012 Olympics, pulls out of the 2015 European Games in Baku with an ankle injury.

Triathlete Helen Jenkins has been forced to pull out of the 2015 European Games in Baku with an ankle injury.

The 31-year-old, who finished fifth at the 2012 Olympics, had been due to represent Team GB at the inaugural European Games later this month.

However, Jenkins has claimed that her lack of preparation for the tournament led to the difficult decision to withdraw.

"I'm disappointed to be missing Baku, and to miss out on being part of Team GB. I've been out for a while due to injury, but my first race last month in Cape Town went really well and the foot injury responded really well, but then I picked up an ankle problem," Jenkins said in a statement.

"I've rested it and it's fine now but I've missed too much training to be able to go to Baku and be able to challenge for a medal. I'd like to wish everyone good luck and will be supporting Team GB from home."

Fellow triathlete Jess Learmonth has also been forced to withdraw with a chest infection.
