Skye Blakely, the 19-year-old U.S. gymnast, sees her Olympics status in question after suffering an apparent leg injury during practice in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Olympic hopeful Skye Blakely suffered an apparent leg injury while training in Minneapolis, according to reports this week. However, her reaction has raised questions about her status for Team USA gymnastics. Blakely, 19, was reportedly practicing her floor exercise when she 'landed short on a tumbling pass,' per The Washington Post. Blakely needed assistance to get off the floor and would ultimately need a wheelchair to be taken away. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.
