The winner of the Russian Cup in long jump Artem Chermoshansky received a serious injury during the competition in Cheboksary. The video is available on the Match! Arena TV channel.

According to the source, the incident occurred during the last attempt. The 23-year-old athlete landed awkwardly and seriously injured his knee. Press attaché of the All-Russian Athletics Federation Alla Glushchenko said that Chermoshansky was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

On May 22, Chermoshansky jumped eight meters and set a personal record. In addition to winning the Russian Cup, the athlete also won a gold medal in the national junior championship.

Earlier, Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya withdrew from the match against Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in the 1/8 finals of Wimbledon 2024, which is taking place in London. The reason was Kalinskaya’s injury. In the first set, with the score 3:4, the athlete took a medical time-out due to a wrist injury.
