Dutch rider Laurine van Riessen was carried off on a stretcher after a high-speed crash at the Tokyo Olympics' Izu Velodrome involving Britain's Katy Marchant. The incident occurred in the women's keirin quarter-finals. The eventual winner of the race, Hong Kong's Lee Was Sze, pulled wide on a bend forcing Van Riessen to react on her outside, and she lost control of her front wheel and slid across into the path of Marchant, who had no time to avoid a collision as they both went to ground.
