Long jumper hit by javelin at Golden Gala meet

ROME -- French long jumper Salim Sdiri suffered a one-inch
wound to his side when he was hit by a javelin during the Golden
Gala on Friday.

He was standing near the long jump area when he was grazed by a
javelin thrown by Tero Pitkamaki of Finland.

Sdiri suffered no internal damage, Italian athletics federation
spokesman Marco Sicari said, adding that Sdiri never lost
consciousness but does not remember the accident because he went
into shock.
