Swiss cyclist Muriel Furrer, 18, is in a 'very critical condition' after suffering a serious head injury during the junior women's road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Zurich.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), along with Swiss Cycling and the Zurich 2024 Local Organising Committee, expressed their extreme concern and are closely monitoring her condition. Currently, investigations into the circumstances of the accident are ongoing, and no definitive details have been established. Furrer is noted for her recent achievements, having won double silver medals at the Swiss road nationals earlier this year. The incident has cast a shadow over the championships, which saw multiple crashes during the race.
