British sports presenter Laura Woods collapsed suddenly while on air Wednesday. Colleagues quickly caught her as she fell during a live broadcast of a women's soccer match.
The incident occurred in the studio during coverage of the UEFA Women's Champions League. Fellow presenters reacted immediately, preventing a more serious fall.
Woods later addressed the event on social media. She stated that a recent virus caused the collapse and thanked her colleagues for their swift assistance.
Broadcaster TNT Sports, which aired the program, confirmed the team's quick response. Production temporarily cut away from the studio following the incident.
