The decathlete appears to have suffered a serious injury during the Diamond League in Paris this Sunday, July 7.
A cry that sent a chill through the entire stadium. Double world champion Kevin Mayer appears to have seriously injured himself during the 110m hurdles event in the Diamond League in Paris this Sunday, July 7. In the middle of the race, the Frenchman collapsed and screamed in pain. The medical team intervened, but Mayer ultimately did not need the wheelchair, he was able to leave the track walking, slowly, touching the back of his left thigh. He was taken care of by the medical staff. For the time being, the exact nature of his injury is unknown, but concern is growing.
The Frenchman had a hard time qualifying for the next Paris 2024 Olympics, snatching the latter during the European Athletics Championships last June.
