Ty Murray, who is a nine-time World Champion rodeo cowboy, was injured during his rehearsal for the show Dancing with the Stars. His eye was hit and said that his eyesight was slightly affected.
It happened during the group practice of the remaining seven couples of the TV show. When Murray threw Chelsie Hightower, his professional dance partner, in the air to complete a routine, the latter’s microphone pack fell off and hurt Murray's eye.
"It was bleeding for a little while, and is slightly back and blue but I kept ice on it. It's not a big deal to me because in bull riding you see that from time to time, but I guess people aren’t used to seeing a little blood in the ballroom," he narrated.
Another contestant Derek Hough said, "He's a cowboy, so he's used to that kind of stuff. You know Ty, he's like, 'It’s alright. No problem. Don't worry about me.'"
