British Cycling says that Katy Marchant is in “good spirits” and recovering after her accident in the UCI Track Champions League. This was after the 2024 Olympic gold medallist collided with German rider Alessa-Catriona Propster and a few spectators.
After the incident, Marchant was admitted to the hospital after suffering two fractures in her arm and two dislocated fingers. Luckily, Propster was unharmed. Moreover, four spectators also needed medical treatment.
British Cycling declared: “After receiving prompt medical attention from the track medical team, Katy Marchant (Great Britain) was escorted to the hospital by the British Cycling doctor.”
“X-rays revealed a fractured radius and ulna in her right forearm, along with two dislocated fingers.”
