Epke Zonderland had quite a painful fall on Tuesday at the Olympics, but don’t worry, he’s ok.
Zonderland, who won the gold medal in this event four years ago in London, was coming out of a double flip when his hands slipped from the bar, leaving him unprotected as he fell hard into the mat. It was a tense few moments immediately afterwards because Zonderland didn’t immediately get up, but he managed to finish his routine anyway.
Speaking about his fall afterwards:
“I timed it a little bit wrong. I almost got it and I thought I had it, that’s why I tried to stick on the bar but I slipped away and I fell on my tummy.
