The British cyclist Katy Marchant has suffered a broken arm and two dislocated fingers after a dramatic crash at the UCI Track Champions League meeting in London, which led to the remainder of Saturday’s races being suspended.

Marchant was involved in a collision with the German rider Alessa-Catriona Pröpster during the first round of the women’s keirin competition. Pröpster and Marchant veered to the right together on the approach to a left-hand turn and both were flipped over the barriers at Lee Valley VeloPark.
