Norwegian athlete Lottie Miller required medical attention after being sent flying off her bike for the second time during the women’s triathlon on Wednesday morning. The cycling leg of the race was full of nasty-looking crashes, with several riders struggling for grip on the rainy streets of Paris.
Miller got up and continued after her first crash but was unable to carry on after being sent tumbling to the ground for a second time. She looked to be in some pain after hitting the deck as police officers rushed to her aid, with Miller eventually retiring from the race.
Jorgen Gunderson, a Norwegian triathlete working as a pundit on NRK, said: “She has struggled a bit with her back and had an operation a year and a half ago. I hope it wasn’t in this area that she got hurt. I think that looks scary.”
