While Johanna Kitti Borissza (Hungary), Emily Kay (Ireland) and Maike van der Duin (Netherlands) were able to leave the track on their own shortly afterwards, Argiro Milaki (30) from Greece and Hanna Solowej (30) from Ukraine received medical treatment behind a screen for a long time.
Both athletes were given a drip before being carried out of the hall on stretchers and taken to hospital. Nothing was initially known about the nature and severity of the injuries.
The race was interrupted for initial medical treatment and repairs to the damaged wooden track.
