Katie Archibald out of the Olympics

Broke her leg in two places, fractured an ankle and tore ligaments of the bone.

Fell over a garden step

That's some incredibly bad luck 😞

Potentially her last show at the Olympics too - I know she has several medals already from previous editions.

That’s such bad luck. Hope she recovers for next season .

Such a pity for her. She always seems like a motivator for the team too and will definitely be missed. Hoping she recovers well.

oh goodness.

In reality, this is almost certainly at least two medals that either won't be achieved, or will be of a lesser colour, she is such a huge engine, and probably the women's pursuit were joint favourites prior to her injury :-(
