Such a bad break that it doesn't even look real.

Samir Ait Said, a French gymnast, was vaulting during team preliminaries today - but his Games are over after his vault ended in a horrific leg-break. The athlete landed awkwardly on his left leg and immediately put his head in his hands in despair. Said, who is 26 years old, had won goal in the Rings event in the World Championships in Moscow. A video has been uploaded to Twitter of the disastrous injury. Be warned, it's very graphic. https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/762212553292324864
