The worst part is that this is not the first time this has happened to Samir. In an interview with USA Today, Anouk Corge of national sports daily L’Equipe said that this happened leading up to the London Olympics four years ago. He said, "It was two months before London and it was the same thing, except to his other leg. It was on a vault, he landed, and the leg broke in the same way. It was terrible then and for it to happen again is traumatic.” 

Despite his injuries, Samir plans to compete again in 2020 in Tokyo.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, and we hope he has a full recovery.
