THE World Athletics Championships was halted after Margot Chevrier suffered a horror injury.
Chevrier was in action in the pole vault final in Glasgow.
But soon after the event begun, she broke her ankle following an awful fall.
She had just cleared 4.55m but was unable to clear the next height of 4.65m on her first attempt.
The 24-year-old screamed in pain as medics rushed over to her.
And the French star was given oxygen before being carried away on a stretcher.

Concerned fans at the Commonwealth Arena applauded her as she left the stadium.
On Chevrier's way out of the arena, she appeared to gesture a love heart to fans.
It has been reported that her "bone was sticking out".
The action was halted for around 15 minutes as she received urgent treatment.
British athlete Molly Caudery won gold in the final once it had resumed.
The Cornish athlete, 23, cleared 4.80 metres - the same height rival Eliza McCartney, but ended up with top spot due to countback rules.
She now heads to the Paris 2024 Olympics with strong hopes of winning a medal.
