'I was taken out by a van': Tom Pidcock wins Olympic gold after defying injury setback
Great Britain’s Tom Pidcock has revealed he overcame a serious injury setback to secure gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
The 21-year-old finished first in the cross-country mountain biking event, just months after he suffered a broken collarbone in a nasty collision with a van.
“I was in an accident, I got taken out by a post van a few months ago,” Pidcock revealed.
“It’s been a pretty intense few months. We’ve taken every day as if time is of the essence.”
