Dutch athlete Maureen Coster caused a stir at the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, when she appeared to lose sensation after falling during the women’s 3000-meter final. Following a collision with British runner Nana Nootal, Coster fell awkwardly on the track and required immediate medical attention as it seemed she had lost full sensation momentarily due to the shock. She was transported to the hospital via ambulance, raising concerns among her fellow countrymen. However, the Dutch athletics federation later reassured everyone with good news: “Maureen regained her senses and is responding well after her fall in the 3000 meters.” Despite the initial scare, the worst-case scenario was avoided for the talented Dutch runner.
