US steeplechase athlete Emma Coburn recently faced a setback in her athletic career after breaking her ankle during a competition in Shanghai last month. The incident occurred during a water jump in the 3,000-meter steeplechase event at the Diamond League meet in China, forcing Coburn to withdraw from the race.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Coburn revealed that she underwent surgery to address the ankle injury, which involved cleaning the cartilage and having a screw inserted in the joint. Unfortunately, this injury has dashed her hopes of competing at the upcoming Paris Olympics.
