Horror crash! Cycling duo crashes into the spectator stands
A serious accident involving the German Alessa-Catriona Pröpster and the British Katy Marchant has led to the abandonment of the Track Cycling Champions League in London. The athletes crashed at full speed over the barriers into the spectator stands.
The organizers and the UCI announced late on Saturday evening that a total of four spectators had to receive medical treatment in addition to the riders. Marchant was taken to hospital with a suspected broken forearm.
According to the TV channel Eurosport, initial information was that there were no serious injuries.
No continuation of the competition
In the Keirin sprint, six athletes compete against each other over six rounds. Images show how the two athletes get caught up in each other and then drift upwards. The event was initially interrupted due to the treatment, and later stopped completely.
