A man near the photographer’s stand had to be treated on the sidelines by rescue workers. Brown cloth was stretched around him to block the view. The award ceremony was initially delayed. An ambulance drove into the stadium.
Almost 20 minutes later, the stadium announcer said the patient was “stable” and being taken to a hospital. “We wish him a speedy recovery and say a big thank you to the rescue workers,” said the spokesman. Numerous spectators had switched on their mobile phone lights and held them up. The trophy handover should take place afterwards.
