Tokyo Olympics, Cycling: Connor Fields moved from ICU after horrific BMX crash

BMX rider Connor Fields was transferred from the intensive care unit at a Tokyo hospital to a high-level care wing on Saturday, one day after a horrific crash during the semifinals of the Olympic race left him laying motionless on the asphalt. But the most recent CT scan showed no additional brain injury, USA Cycling said in a statement, and doctors are confident that Fields will not need surgery. “Connor is still constantly sleeping but is cogent and communicative when awakened,” said his mother, Lisa Fields, who has been in regular communication with the doctors from USA Cycling and the U.S. Olympic team. Members of the USA Cycling medical team and coaching staff also have accompanied Fields to St. Luke’s International Hospital.
