LONDON (Reuters) - World uneven bars silver medallist Becky Downie has missed out on selection for the Tokyo 2020 Games after being given a special chance to qualify for the British team following the sudden death of her brother.

Downie, who had been hoping to compete at her third Olympics at the age of 29, was the notable absentee from the four-athlete women's team announced by Team GB on Monday.
