Paris Olympics gold medallist Katy Marchant was taken to hospital after crashing in the women’s keirin semi-final at the UCI Track Cycling Champions League in London, British Cycling said on Saturday.
Marchant, who won gold in the team sprint in Paris, suffered a broken arm after a collision with German Alessa-Catriona Propster sent both riders over the trackside barrier into a seating area for spectators, according to British media reports.
