sport">“We are very relieved, as it could have turned out a lot worse,” said the American cycling association in an official statement after Dygert was operated.
sport">“It was a disturbing crash, but Chloé is young and a fighter. It is now important to recover properly. We are sure that with her determination, Chloé will get back on her bike soon. ”
sport">Dygert initially did not consider the gravity of the situation when she flew over a crash barrier after her bicycle started to swab. “I remember thinking: can I still win if I get on my bike quickly? I asked Jim Miller (Chief of Sports Performance of USA Cycling, ed.) If I could continue, but just then I saw my leg ”, she said via Twitter. “Thanks for all the messages. I’ll be back.”
Come back stronger
sport">Kristin Armstrong is also confident in a comeback from Dygert. The two-time world champion and three-time Olympic time trial champion is the trainer of Dygert.
sport">“Chloé is a gifted athlete and she has had to deal with setbacks before. She has always come back stronger and she will now. I’m sure about that.”
