(Reuters) -Paris Olympic gold medallist Katy Marchant was taken to hospital after crashing in the women's keirin semi-final at the UCI Track Cycling Champions League in London, British Cycling said on Saturday.
Marchant, who won gold in the team sprint in Paris, suffered a broken arm after a collision with German Alessa-Catriona Propster sent both riders over the trackside barrier into a seating area for spectators.
Organisers decided to suspend all further racing for the evening after the incident, the UCI said in a statement.
"After receiving prompt medical attention from the track medical team, Katy was escorted to the hospital by the British Cycling doctor," British Cycling said on Sunday in a statement posted on X.
"X-rays revealed a fractured radius and ulna in her right forearm, as well as two dislocated fingers. Katy is in good spirits and is receiving excellent care from her medical team,"
