That cycling spill wow....face plant, 3 spine fractures...brutal.
what was brutal was the ridiculous about of time it took to get her some help. That was downright embarrassing for those running these games. Horrible.
And apparently some cycling experts have claimed the course itself was dangerous before the crash even happened.
She clearly was not prepared for that corner to be as tight as it was and being alone she had no traffic to help her learn what was coming.
That said as a racer that has crashed hard a couple of times and as someone that cycles 20 miles a day, the lenth of time it took for emergency personel to respond to her was horrifying. She had to be scared to death that no one was going to help her.
Missy Franklin gets left in the dust in that race. Shocking
I heard another racer say they had been specifically warned about coming down, but that maybe when you're out front, you are more amped.
I'm betting she was out cold. Hard to be terrified while you're unconscious...
Baker and Dwyer with medals in swimming, its always nice to see when they get their firsts.
That was a terrible effort. Did she even try?
