He's the steeplechase runner who hit the barrier and fell headfirst onto the track, knocking him out. The day after we heard brain scans were clear (presumably for bleeding?) and he was awake and talking, but is there any news beyond that? He must surely have sustained a concussion in that fall. It looked terrible and I hope he's able to make a full recovery.
