Espeluznante caída de la ciclista holandesa Annemiek van Vleuten en Río 2016
Ellie Downie recovered from hurting her neck in a bad fall to help Team GB reach the women"s team gymnastics final at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
The 17-year old from Nottingham was completing a somersault on the floor when she landed awkwardly.
There was an audible gasp in the arena when Downie"s tumbling run on the floor exercise ended with her clutching her neck after she suffered what she called "a crunch in my neck."
Despite being helped out of the arena to get medical attention, the 17-year-old was back in action 15 minutes later and executed two soaring vaults to provisionally leave Britain fourth in qualifying.
"It was very scary and a shock to the system. Ellie"s a fighter for coming back," summed up elder sister Becky, who earned the team"s highest score of 15.233 on the asymmetric bars.
Britain finished with a total of 174.064 placing fourthbehind USA, China and Russia.
