The injured list (London 2012)

With the games just month away...it seems like more and more athletes are withdrawing from the Olympic team or selection process. Below we are keeping track of the athletes who won't be appearing in London due to injury or some other reason. Let's hope this list remains as small as possible, although it seems to get bigger everyday!
