Javelin spears long jumper

I heard about this on the news yesterday and I just watched it on YouTube. Really freaky…

French long jumper Salim Sdiri was speared by a javelin in a freak accident at the Rome Golden League meeting on Friday. Sdiri was hit by the javelin which had been launched by Finland’s Tero Pitkamaki at the other side of the arena at the Olympic Stadium. [News]
