Olympic champion Mutaz Essa Barshim caused concern among fans at the Stade de France during high jump qualification when he appeared to suffer an injury. Barshim, attempting to clear 2.27m, abruptly stopped his first jump and fell to the ground, holding his right leg.
His friend and fellow gold medalist from Tokyo, Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy, was the first to check on Barshim. The duo made headlines in Japan by sharing the gold and opting out of a jump-off.
