Margot Chevrier landed badly after trying to clear a bar at 4.65m. The 24-year-old Frenchwoman fell badly and had to be evacuated on a stretcher with a splint placed on her his left leg.
Chevrier screamed in pain, causing a long interruption of the contest. The final diagnosis is not yet known, but the French athlete, who was aiming for selection for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, could suffer from an open fracture. Just Kwaou-Mathey brought the French delegation its first medal by winning bronze in the 60m hurdles won by the American Grant Holloway.
