Four-time Olympic short-track speed skating champion Wang Meng will probably miss the Sochi Winter Olympic Games since she sustained a serious ankle injury on January 16.

Wang was diagnosed with fractures in the tibia and fibula in her right ankle. A sport medicine expert said she will need to rest for at least six weeks, meaning Wang will lose the chance to defend her 500-meter, 1,000-meter and 3,000-meter relay titles at Sochi Olympic Games which are only about four weeks away.
