Cycling tragedy
Memorial erected for Swiss cyclist Furrer
A memorial has been set up not far from the World Championship course in Zurich for the young cyclist Muriel Furrer who died. Passers-by laid flowers, lit candles and paused for a moment at the Wasserkirche church.
Furrer, who was only 18 years old, died on Friday from injuries she had sustained in a crash in a junior race the day before.
A memorial ride was also held for the Zurich native on Sunday morning. Many amateur riders gathered at Sechseläutenplatz at 7 a.m. and rode the world championship circuit.
Investigation underway
Olivier Senn, Head of Sport at the World Championships, gave a short speech before the start and a minute's silence was held. "Talk to each other, ride in silence, which is good for you," said Senn. It is still being investigated exactly when and how Furrer fell. According to Senn, it was the only fall in over 1000 passes of the course.
