Beth Tweddle Released from the Hospital

Good news from Beth Tweddle regarding her injury.

Beth, world champion, Olympic Medalist and European Champion has been discharged from the hospital following her scary accident while filming the latest sports reality celebrity competition show "The Jump" in Austria.


Ten days after her accident, Beth posted this photo of herself on her Twitter account with some good news.




While shooting the series, Beth crashed into a barrier, causing her to fracture two vertabrae. She underwent surgery to fuse the fractures. February 13, BBC news reported that Beth was able to walk unassisted following her surgery.

Three of Beth's co-stars also withdrew from the competition due to injuries they'd suffered during production.
