The injury occurred as the Ameri can ran down the runway in his first vault attempt — at 15 feet, I inch. Pappas ran through to the pit, then walked to a nearby grassy area and sat down. He pulled o ff his left shoe and sock, then ripped through tape and began rubbing the bottom o f his foot. Pappas left the infield to have the foot rewrapped, then returned and began testing the fix«, first in running shoes, then in spikes. He passed on the next height but de cided not to continue after talking to coaches. Pappas, in fifth place through seven events, put his poles away, grabbed his gear bag and I i mped off the field. After about an hour in the medical treatment room beneath the stadium, he left.
