A former world champion canoeist has suffered multiple fractures sleepwalking off a balcony.
Viktoria Schwarz, the 2011 double kayak world champion, fell 28 feet (8.5 metres) and fractured her left shoulder, nose and a heel bone.
The 30-year-old told Austrian sports magazine sportnet.at: "I had a hundred guardian angels.
"I took cough drops before going to sleep. And I knew that I had gone sleepwalking a few times before. But never to this extent. I can't remember anything at all."
Schwarz, who had failed to qualify for the Rio Olympics, will now miss this month's European Championships.
