Lucas Plapp Hospitalized After Olympic Crash

News summary

Australian cyclist Lucas Plapp is hospitalized in Paris after sustaining injuries from a crash during the men's Olympic road time trial, where he was performing strongly until the incident. The 23-year-old, who had clocked the fourth-fastest time at the first checkpoint, collided with barriers after losing control on a slick course due to heavy rain. He underwent abdominal surgery and is reported to be in stable condition, accompanied by his parents and a team doctor. Plapp was not alone in his misfortune; several riders faced similar challenges in the treacherous conditions. Meanwhile, his teammate Grace Brown secured Australia's first gold medal in the women's race earlier the same day. It remains uncertain whether Plapp will be able to participate in the upcoming men's road race.
