I literally felt ill watching it- poor poor bloke!

"Can't seem to copy the link" - thank the lord

Poor sod, that's undoubtedly career ending. Footballers come back from those these days but the high impact nature of gymnastics means that he'll never compete again.

[Old_Geezer]

Poor chap.

[Smowball]

Still shocked that it snapped so easily. I didn't think it was that bad a fall

[Prudie]

Really dreadful. I'm glad that I switched over to watch something else just before it happened.

Poor chap, these athletes push themselves to the limit and it can go wrong so easily. :(

[marval]

Ouch, I really feel for him. Hope he gets it fixed soon.

Ooh no! That looks horrific. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned on TV.

[Smowball]

I know. Just horrific
