The author uses metric techniques to generalize the Gromov convergence theorem and the Cheeger finiteness theorem by replacing an upper curvature bound and lower volume bound with a lower bound on injectivity radius and by removing smoothness assumptions as well. In a first theorem the author obtains that an \(n\)-dimensional, metrically and geodesically complete inner metric space of curvature bounded below by some constant and injectivity radius bounded below by some positive constant has a \(C^ 1\) structure.
