It was an unpleasant end to the indoor EC in athletics.
In the final of the 60 meter hurdles, Spaniard Enrique Llopis fell and crashed on the hill.
He remained lying down and was quickly attended to by medical personnel.
- Very nasty.
He is covered with a skykin so that you can't take pictures, says SVT Sports reporter André Pops.
Spanish leaders later issued reassuring statements about Llopi's status.
He has now been taken out of the arena.
The Swiss Jason Joseph won the final.
