A fall in the garden has ended the Olympic journey for three-time medalist Katie Archibald, British Cycling confirmed Thursday.
Team Great Britain will be without two-time gold medalist Katie Archibald in Paris next month after the champion cyclist suffered a broken leg during a freak accident in a garden this week. Archibald, 30, shared the news on social media on Thursday morning. 'I tripped over a step in the garden and managed to, somehow, dislocate my ankle; break my tibia and fibula; and rip two ligaments off the bone. What the heck,' she wrote in a post on Instagram.
