Few days ago, I read an article about this French athlete, Samir Ait Said that snapped his leg as he attempted to complete his vault during the team preliminaries. Now I am going to share with you what I read.
A French Gymnast, Samir Ait Said who dramatically broke his leg at the Rio Olympics had his pain further compounded when hapless medical staff accidentally dropped his stretcher as he was hurried out of the stadium.
Samir's leg snapped as he tried to complete his vault during team preliminaries on Saturday, with the sound of the injury echoing through the arena. As he crumpled to the floor, medical officals tended to him in front of a shocked crowd. After a delay of several minutes, he was eventually wheeled out and raised one arm to acknowledge the loud ovation he received from the crowd. But just minutes later the athlete was in even more excruciating pain after medical staff attempting to bundle him into a waiting ambulance dropped the lower end of the stretcher.
This incident is very horrifying and I feel sad for Said as he cannot compete in other events that he is supposed to take part in. This must have been such heartbreaking news for France as they lose a participant participating in the Rio Olympics. I do hope that he will heal as soon as possible and can get back on his feet without any permanent damage.
