I, Joanna Rowell, a seasoned sports journalist with a deep connection to the cycling world, feel deeply for Katie Archibald. The cruel twist of fate that saw her break her leg tripping on a garden step just two short years after her partner, Rab Wardell, took his life, is nothing short of heart-wrenching. I’ve covered countless races and met many athletes over the years, but few have faced adversity quite like Katie has.
I’m deeply saddened for Katie Archibald. It’s a terrible misfortune to fracture a leg by tripping over a garden step, an accident that seems so random. Yet, this unfortunate incident comes just two years after the loss of her partner Rab Wardell, making it even more heart-wrenching. Katie was on track for three gold medals, but I’m confident she’ll keep a positive outlook on life. Our women’s team remains strong favorites due to our talented quartet of riders, although New Zealand will pose a formidable challenge. The men have experienced a string of bad luck; they crashed at both the Tokyo Olympics and the previous World Championships. However, despite the mounting pressure on Denmark and Italy, Team GB still stands as a contender for the medals. JOANNA ROWSELL
