Germany’s Sophie Weissenberg faced a devastating setback on Thursday during warmups for her first heptathlon event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Her debut at the prestigious games was cut short before it even began as she suffered a severe injury. She was left in excruciating pain and required a wheelchair to be moved off the track.
The unfortunate incident occurred at Stade de France, where the 26-year-old athlete was set to make her Olympic debut by running in the second heat of the 100m hurdles.
