Viktoria Schwarz, one of Austria's top canoe sprint paddlers, has suffered a multiple fractures after falling from a balcony window whilst sleepwalking.
The 30-year-old Austrian sprint canoeist fell 28 feet and broke her left shoulder, nose and heel.
She told an Austrian sports magazine: "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.”
She won three medals in the K2W 500m event at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships; a gold in 2011, a silver in 2005 and a bronze in 2010.
