French cyclist Loana Lecomte suffered an awful crash during the women’s cross-country mountain bike race on Sunday.
The 24-year-old flew over her handlebars while descending through a technical and rocky section of the course at Elancourt Hill.
Lecomte looked to have momentarily lost consciousness after hitting her head on the floor or a rock. Her bike then also knocked into her.
Stewards and medics rushed to help her as TV cameras cut away from the horror crash. No replays of the incident were shown given the concern for Lecomte’s wellbeing.
Fortunately, Lecomte’s injuries appear not to be quite as serious as first suspected.
