Thakur, who came to the team bench after the hooter for full time was sounded in India’s 1-2 loss to New Zealand on Saturday, collapsed due to breathing problems, IHF media manager Anupam Ghulati said. Thakur had stopped breathing for a while and the medical staff at the ground used an oxygen mask to revive his breathing, Ghulati said adding the player was then moved to ICU. Ghulati, however, confirmed that there was no ball injury to the player as was thought earlier. "Thakur's condition is now stable but he will be kept under observation in ICU for the next 24 hours," he said. Dr Vece Paes, one of the doctors accompanying the Indian contingent, said the problem was "quite normal" and added that such instances were common with sportsmen. "The player has a rib cage problem and this led to the complication. But it is quite normal and not very serious," Paes said. in-depth coverage > Olympic Games 2004 > |
