France’s Loana Lecomte crashed heavily as she was descending the rock garden during the women’s cross-country mountain bike at the 2024 Paris Olympics and was initially stretchered out from the course to get medical attention.
Lecomte had been part of a chasing group, battling for a medal behind her gold winning compatriot Pauline Ferrand-Prévot who had attacked solo off the front, but then crashed on a rock section.
"She lost consciousness for a short while but now she is conscious, she is with the medical staff. She is fine," the management of the French Cycling Federation (FFC) said according to a France 3 report.
