SYDNEY, May 4 (Reuters) – A top Australian swimmer who smashed her kneecaps in a car crash just two months ago has been cleared to compete in next week's Olympic trials after completing a remarkable recovery. <\/p>\n
Lori Munz seemed certain to miss the Australian national championships at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre after she was cut from the wreckage of her car, lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n
But the 21-year-old was told by doctors on Thursday that she would be able to contest the championships from May 13-20 in a last-ditch effort to make the Australian Olympic team. <\/p>\n
Her manager, Liz Wilson, said Munz was likely to compete in the 100 and 200 metres freestyle events where she needs to finish in the top six to win a place in the relays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
