Tweddle making progress after OP

The British gymnast Elisabeth Tweddle is recovering well from ankle surgery and on course to return in time to compete at the opening Grands Prix of 2005 in March.
The 19-year-old British gymnastics top star had an operation to remove loose bone fragments from the left ankle she broke in 1998 and also had the right ankle 'cleaned up'.

'Everything is going according to plan and I expect to be given the all-clear to step up my training next week,' she added.
