Scots Olympic champion Katie Archibald tried to resuscitate Rab Wardell before mountain biker's sudden death

Olympic champion Katie Archibald tried desperately to resuscitate mountain biker Rab Wardell before his sudden death on Tuesday morning. Katie, 28, has told how she attempted to save her partner, as the 37-year-old fell into cardiac arrest while the pair were in bed.

Despite her efforts, and those of the paramedics that arrived shortly after, Rab, from Glasgow, sadly passed away. His tragic death came just two days after he claimed the Scottish Cross Country Championship.

Olympic and Commonwealth gold medal winner Katie has paid a moving tribute to her cyclist partner following the tragedy.
