(Reuters) - Britain's Amy Tinkler did not expect to recover from surgery in time for this week's gymnastics world championships but on Tuesday she delivered an impressive display and is well placed to make the all-around final in Montreal.

Tinkler, who won a surprise bronze medal in the women's floor final at last year's Rio Olympics, only began training seven weeks ago after undergoing an operation on a torn calf muscle in April.
