Two of England's top medal hopes, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Dina Asher-Smith, have pulled out of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. According to reports, Johnson-Thompson, an Olympic silver medallist, is withdrawing due to injury. The reason for Asher-Smith's withdrawal has not been specified. Both athletes were expected to compete in multiple events. Johnson-Thompson is a heptathlete, while Asher-Smith is a sprinter. Their absence is a significant blow to the English team's chances at the Games. The Commonwealth Games are set to begin later this month. Team England officials have not yet announced replacements for the two athletes. Fans expressed disappointment on social media, but many wished them a speedy recovery. The Games will feature athletes from across the Commonwealth nations competing in various sports. England will now rely on other athletes to step up in their absence.
