Opals veteran Rebecca Allen is out of this year’s Olympics. With one word, and one ‘broken heart’ emoji, Allen’s pain was there for all to see. “Shattered,” she wrote on X , after scans confirmed the extent of her soft-tissue injury. The 31-year-old injured her hamstring during the practice match against Canada on Tuesday evening. She was, however, still hopeful of taking some part in Paris, but scans have now confirmed a high-grade hamstring strain.
These Olympics were going to be Allen’s second. Amy Atwell has been named as her replacement. Opals coach Sandy Brondello was feeling for Allen. “Bec is such a big part of our team and has been for a long time… This injury has come at a really unfortunate time and the call had to be made upon medical advice,” Brondello said. “Amy Atwell has been part of this Olympic squad all year and with us in Spain for our practice matches.
