LXQ42 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Wayward javelin fells long-jumper Saturday, 14 Jul 2007 10:33 French long-jumper Salim Sdiri was hit by a wayward javelin while he was warming up during last night's Golden League meeting in Rome.Sdiri was stretching on an area between the track and the field when Finish thrower Tero Pitkamaki accidentally hit him with his javelin.The Frenchman was hit in the on the right side of his ribcage, amazingly only suffering a flesh wound, though clearly in shock he was immediately taken to hospital."Sdiri had a four centimetre injury in his right side," said Giuseppe Fischetto, one of the medics at the scene."The point of the javelin partially penetrated his side and he was taken to hospital. Now we will have to see if the pleural membrane was damaged or if it stopped just before the muscle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
