RIO DE JANEIRO — Samir Ait Said’s leg may be shattered but his spirit isn’t.
The French gymnast posted a video Sunday morning thanking people for their support and assuring them he was fine. He’s already had surgery to repair his broken tibia and plans to be at the gymnastics arena when his teammates compete again – complete with his new red and blue cast.
“So come on France, I’m behind all my pals,” Ait Said said in the video, posted on his Facebook page.
