Austrian steeplechaser Guenther Weidlinger was rushed to hospital with facial injuries after a nasty fall at the world championships yesterday.
Weidlinger stumbled and smashed into a hurdle face-first splitting his lip and cutting his jaw during the heats for the 3,000 metres steeplechase.
He was taken to hospital for treatment and a precautionary brain scan which showed no damage. Weidlinger has recovered full consciousness but was kept under observation overnight.
