In the finals of the 1,000-meter canoe double race, German Olympic canoer Thomasz Wylenzek, fainted after winning the silver medal. He is being treated at a Hospital and is listed in stable condition.
The race had a very bizzare ending. At the end of the race, the German team’s canoe hit a lane marker which caused Wylenzek’s partner, Christian Gille, to fall into the water. Then Wylenzek, fainted and was taken out of the water in a rescue boat! And I thought the BMX races had crazy finishes…
