Table tennis-Sweden's Moregard injured by drone strike in training
Paris 2024 Olympics - Table Tennis - Men's Team Gold Medal Team Match - South Paris Arena 4, Paris, France - August 09, 2024.

REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji Swedish table tennis player Truls Moregard suffered a freak accident this year when he was hit by a drone during a practice session. The 23-year-old, who won two silver medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, was struck on the left hand when a drone filming his training collided with a lamp and came crashing down. "It's okay now, but the drone hit badly and broke half the nail. It bled a lot and throbbed painfully. I think that was what made me so stressed," Moregard told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. Moregard, who plays right-handed, said the accident in his home town of Eslov did not affect his preparations for the World Championship in Doha starting on May 17.
