V. N. Brumel, the Soviet Olympic high jump champion, who broke his leg last year in a fall from a motor-cycle, has broken the same leg again in a fall down stairs. The 23-year-old athlete was only recently discharged from hospital after the leg was operated on. He attempted to climb stairs in his Moscow apartment without the aid of crutches, tumbled, and broke his leg in the same place as it was broken last year.
