Ethiopia’s Lamecha Girma had fans scared for his well-being after his heavy fall at the start of the last 200 meters of the men’s Steeplechase at the Paris Olympics earlier on Wednesday.
Lamecha Girma was stretchered off the track at Stade de France on Wednesday at the 2024 Paris Olympics during the men’s 3,000-meter Steeplechase final after the defending silver medalist in the event from the Tokyo Olympics tripped over a hurdle and it resulted in a hard foul that saw him smack his head on the ground and render him unconscious.
He was placed in a neck brace and stretchered off by medical personnel shortly after the race.
