Team GB's Kye Whyte was stretchered off the BMX track after a severe crash during the semi-finals at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The 24-year-old, who won a silver medal in Tokyo 2021, lost control of his bike after the first jump and crashed before the second ramp, prompting immediate medical attention and subsequent hospitalization. Initial reports on his condition are positive, but he did not participate in the final run and will undergo further assessments. Whyte had been dealing with a back injury prior to the event and struggled in the quarter-finals. Team GB has expressed hopes for his speedy recovery. Meanwhile, fellow Team GB athlete Beth Shriever aims to defend her gold medal in the women's BMX race.
