Katie Archibald set to miss Paris Olympics after fall
Katie Archibald set to miss Paris Olympics after tripping over garden step and breaking leg, ripping ligaments, and dislocating ankle in “cruel” fall
“A hundred thank yous for the fabulous doctors, nurses, radiographers, porters, physios, surgeons, and more at the Manchester Royal Infirmary.” Following the announcement, British Cycling said it shared Archibald’s “heartbreak” in being forced to miss track cycling’s marquee event. “Our focus is now on providing Katie with the best possible support as she begins her recovery, and we know that the whole cycling community will be right behind her for every step.”Archibald’s absence from the Paris Games brings an abrupt and painful end to what has been a difficult few years, in more ways than one, for the popular track star, who won gold in the Madison with Laura Kenny and silver in the team pursuit at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021.
