Dangerous moment: French gymnast player Samir Ait Said breaks leg while performing vault
So, Im about to show you a pretty bad injury received by FrenchOlympic gymnast Samir Ait Said as he attempted the vault at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Now, I know youre not going to believe me when I say you will not be able to unsee Saids injury and you will not be able to unhear his leg bone breaking.
Because you wont believe me even though you should Im just going to show you how people on Twitter reacted when someone posted a clip of the injury.
You can see that the reactions range from the horrified to the shocked and everything in between.
So, once again, Im warning you; the video is pretty graphic, like, theres no visible blood, but youre going to shout in shock and/or look away when you see (and hear) the injury happen.
I did warn you! Did you see the look on the other gymnasts face?
That, my friends, is a look of pure shock if Ive ever seen one. This other gymnast knows just how serious and likely career-ending that injury is.
Man, I cant even imagine what it took to break Saidsleg. The 26-year-old Olympians probably been training his hardest for months, probably more like years, for this moment, and in one move of extreme force, his Olympic test is over.
And just listen to the announcer. You know the announcer has seen some serious stuff, but all he can muster in the seconds after the injury is some kind of repeated oof noise.
According to Daily Mail, Said squirmed in pain while medical officials tried to help him. He was reportedly eventually wheeled out and raised his arm to acknowledge the support of the shocked crowd.
It just goes to show when you gather the worlds fastest, strongest and greatest athletes for the Olympics, anything can happen.
