Looked bloody awful, hope she's OK
That looked dreadful hope she survived that.
Awful stuff.
I rewound it to see exactly what happened. She looked to be going into the bend too quickly, skidded, flipped over the handle bars and landed in a heap on the kerb. She looked out cold.Originally Posted by Elysium
The road surface is dreadful!
Let's hope so it looked really bad,Chris Boardman was too happy about the course after the race it was bad enough even before the rain
It's being reported that she is conscious and on her way to hospital.
That is great news.
Was watching live when it happened, looked horrendous and she was still on the deck motionless when the others went past. Glad to hear she's conscious and hopefully not too badly hurt.
There didn't appear to be much concern for the riders' safety though by the course planners.
Hardly great news .
Certainly positive news .
Glad our drugs cheat didn't win .
Little news other than she was conscious and taken to hospital.
I'm sure we all hope she's ok.
She crashed in the same place as Geraint Thomas did yesterday. Her back wheel seemed to slip when it hits the painted line in the middle of the road.
Doesn't detract from the fact that the descent was beyond technical - it was dangerous.
Hope she's alright, it did look bad. This French guy wasn't as lucky however https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq7XjVp6sUk
My son told me about this earlier, I've not seen it myself, nor do I want to, very nasty leg break apparently.Hope she's alright, it did look bad. This French guy wasn't as lucky however https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq7XjVp6sUk
Shocking aye! Definitely hard to watch
If it's the gymnast, I too was told about it and will not be clicking the link, seen too many of these.Hope she's alright, it did look bad. This French guy wasn't as lucky however https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq7XjVp6sUk
Poor bugger has probably been up at 5 o'clock for training most of his life dreaming of his making the Games, horrible way to end
I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to broken bones, even thinking about it makes me feel a bit queasy, so no way am I opening that link.Shocking aye! Definitely hard to watch
I've only just seen this, and only watched in once, terrible accident, obviously hoping for a full recovery for her.
Seems to be conflicting reports, from "conscious and no serious injury" to "in intensive care suffering from concussion and broken bones in her spine"
The female rider is in hospital and has 3 fractures of the spine and severe concussion apparently.
Two other riders in separate races also broke bones and Boardman is furious that this treacherous route is being used having predicted trouble before the games started.
What with the two (that I know of) disqualifications for drugs, the road runner leading the race being accosted by a spectator, the controlled explosion at the finish line and a cycling death run, a "lively" start for the Rio Olympics
I wish I hadn't watched that nowHope she's alright, it did look bad. This French guy wasn't as lucky however https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq7XjVp6sUk
I wish you had said that 5 mins earlier, ouchI wish I hadn't watched that now
I did try to warn peopleI wish you had said that 5 mins earlier, ouch
Another gymnast done his cruciate ligament and still performed later on the pommel horse because if he didn't his team would be eliminated, luckily for him it was the last event.
Apparently she is okay. Tweeted this morning. Was worried for her last night, especially as the BBC said "She is Stable and breathing" Not exactly a great state to be in when they use the words stable and breathing. Few fractures and she has said she will be okay.
Horrible accident. Saw it live, dont really want to see it again.
Yes sounds like (relatively) good news - it was absolutely horrific to watch. Really could have been so much worse.
