Dutch Cyclist Suffers Horrific Crash at 2016 Rio Olympics

Digitalfiendsays...

Can't believe she only fractured her back. The way she came down on that curb was horrific and I immediately thought that she'd be paralyzed. As a cyclist myself, I kind of wish I hadn't watched that now ... ugh.

Automatic flinch reaction just there. Auch.

Especially sad since she was so far ahead of the rest she would have won the race.

Van Vleuten was in intensive care after suffering a severe concussion and three small fractures in her lower back. Not being a doctor that sounds pretty bad, but her tweets say she is fine and hoping to get out of the hospital today.

And now i feel i can upvote the video comfortably, knowing she's okay. What a horrible crash.
