Katie Archibald ruled out of Olympics after freak garden accident
The TelegraphThe development is all the more devastating for Archibald given what she has been through in the past couple of years. Archibald, who won team pursuit gold at Rio 2016 and then topped the podium in the madison alongside Laura Kenny at Tokyo 2020, will be hugely missed by the Great Britain team in Paris. “A hundred thank yous for the fabulous doctors, nurses, radiographers, porters, physios, surgeons and more at the Manchester Royal Infirmary,” Archibald added in her social media post. “Earlier this week, Katie Archibald had an accident at home which has resulted in a broken ankle which she has since had surgery on,” British Cycling’s statement read. “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.”
