Everyone around went numb! Ethiopian Lamecha Girma (23) had a nasty fall at the Paris Games during Wednesday’s race and was unable to move after a terrible car accident. Medics immediately went to the representative from East Africa.
The men’s steeplechase final brought moments of horror at the Paris Games! Ethiopian runner Lamecha Girma did not do badly in the race, but after the race, the result was definitely not the most important thing for him.
During the event, he met a rather serious accident when, from the position of the second runner, he failed to jump over the obstacle and fell to the ground. It was just a great luck that soon all the opponents were able to avoid him and none of them hurt him.
However, Girma remained lying on the ground after the fall and did not move, so the medics immediately ran to him, secured him with a neck brace and carried him off the track on a stretcher. The runner was soon transported to the hospital and it was said that he ended up unconscious after the fall.
Ethiopian journalist Eabisa Negese then reassured sports fans by posting a picture of Girma from the hospital and adding an optimistic outlook: “He’s not in danger, but he’ll need some time to recover.”
