SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — Serbia high jumper Angelina Topic fractured her right ankle during qualifying at the Paris Olympics on Friday and won’t be able to compete in Sunday’s final.

The 19-year-old Topic took the silver medal behind Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine at the European championships in June and was considered a medal contender in Paris, too.

“In the end it wasn’t meant to be, this time,” Topic wrote on Instagram, next to a photo of her ankle in a big brace.
