<h6 class="article__media"><strong>Said can be seen being stretchered out of the arena after the horror break</strong></h6>
<p>In the replay of the horrific sequence of events, the sound of bones breaking can be heard as Said hits the mat. Immediately he grabs the mangled leg as he writhes in agony and the army of medics rush to his aid. Said was stretchered off, obviously in excruciating pain, olympic dreams shattered along with any hopes of medalling.<br />
However, in the melee, the video also shows the sickening moment paramedics dropped the gymnast as they loaded him into a waiting ambulance. Footage shows the stretcher carrying Said &#8211; with his bandaged leg clearly visible &#8211; suddenly fall to the floor as it seemingly slips from the medical workers&#8217; hands.</p>
