Motocross rider Elena Kapsamer from Schwanenstadt (Upper Austria) was hit by a competitor at the World Championship race in Turkey and suffered a serious fracture! "The foot just popped off to the right," said the 22-year-old, who then experienced a very painful ordeal.  

"It will now take some time for me to fully recover, both physically and mentally," says Elena Kapsamer in an interview with "Krone". After what the 22-year-old from Schwanenstadt had to endure, however, these words are all too understandable.
