You wouldn’t expect to see an absolutely horrific leg break in a 100m sprint but that’s just what happened to this Bulgarian sprinter.
Over in Helsinki, the European Athletics Championships are taking place. With the Olympics coming up, and the European Championship in football underway, it’s not getting much attention but Irish athletes, like 400m hurdler Jessie Barr, are doing very well.
One athlete who isn’t doing so well is Bulgarian 100m sprinter Georgi Kirilov Georgiev. Georgiev was competing in the heats of his competition when his leg gave way under him, and as he hurtles towards the line, he is unable to stop his leg bending in a way that is very far from how a leg should bend.
You can see all the gory details above but be warned, if you are anyway squeamish, do not click ‘play’.
