'Worst crash I’ve ever had': Sir Chris Hoy breaks leg in mountain bike accident

During a mountain-bike ride, Sir Chris Hoy, six-time Olympic cycling champion, suffered a broken leg after falling from the saddle, which he called his 'worst crash'.
Despite 43 years of riding, Hoy said the crash was the worst he has had and called himself 'pretty lucky', framing it as an ordinary risk while wanting to make the most of his time.
Hoy told Sky Sports he is on crutches and hobbling but is doing better now, hoping to be more mobile by the darts final on January 3, 2025.
Diagnosed in September 2023, Hoy has been undergoing chemotherapy after being given between two and four years to live.
Hoy warned that ordinary hazards like tripping at your front door can cause injury, highlighting the everyday risks even for experienced athletes.
