France’s Bassa Mawem has pulled out of the sport climbing final at the Tokyo Olympics after rupturing a tendon in his left biceps during qualifying.
Mawem was injured during the final of three disciplines while reaching up with his left arm near the bottom of the lead wall. He immediately fell off the wall and stood at the bottom holding his biceps as an official untied his rope.
Mawem still managed to join his brother in qualifying for the finals after finishing first in boulder and 18th in speed.
The French Olympic Committee said Mawem is returning home to have surgery.
