GB Star Jack Carlin is Treated by Medics after Horror 30mph Crash Denies Him Chance of Olympic Medal
Team GB saw another cyclist involved in a crash in cycling on Sunday, as Jack Carlin suffered a 30mph accident in the men's keirin.
After crashes for Ollie Wood on Saturday, and Neah Evans and Hamish Turnbull on Sunday morning, Carlin was the latest to crash as he aimed to get his third medal at the Paris Olympics.
He was involved in a nasty crash that took out three of the field on the final bend, in a race won by Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen ahead of Australia pair Matthew Richardson and Matthew Glaetzer.
Carlin was on his back for some time, some way short of the finish line, moving his head from side to side.
The Team GB star was seen by British medical staff and appeared to be in some discomfort before he was helped back to his feet and walked to the track center.
The crash also involved Malaysia's Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom and Japan's Shinji Nakano.
Sharon slid over the line but was relegated for causing the accident. All three riders eventually managed to walk away after treatment.
Lavreysen has been in a league of his own all week although he was beaten into second place by Richardson in the semi-finals of the keirin.
Come the final it was business as usual for the former BMX rider they call The Beast, however, as he was roared home by an orange army of Dutch fans in the stands.
He has emulated British sprint greats Chris Hoy (2008) and Jason Kenny (2016) in winning all three sprint golds on offer at a single Olympics and now has five in total.
Evans was the first to crash on Sunday morning when she lost control in the first race of the women's omnium.
She was able to get back on her bike and finish the race, but her 22nd-place finish meant she had a huge challenge to get anywhere near the medal places.
Turnbull was involved in an unfortunate collision in the men's keirin.
Germany's Luca Siegel fell first and clipped Turnbull's rear wheel, sending him spinning towards the barrier before crashing to the floor.
Both riders were able to get to their feet, though Turnbull appeared to be in some discomfort walking off the track - with his suit ripped on the back.
His crash means that he failed to make it into the final of the men's keirin final.
Wood appeared to be headbutted by Dutch rival Jan Willem van Schip.
With just 39 laps remaining, Wood was suddenly catapulted into a hard fall after his helmet was struck from behind by Willem van Schip.
It was inconclusive from television replays whether the contact was deliberate, though it looked ugly inside the velodrome, with the collision leaving Woods sprawled across the boards.
The Dutch team was disqualified with Willem van Schip fined 1,000 (£720) for improper conduct and behavior that endangered another rider (blow with the helmet)', according to the commissaires' decision.
After limping into the interview area with a heavily swollen knee, he said: 'He hit me so hard. I felt like a crash test dummy.
'I will survive. I didn't see anything.'
