Kristina Vogel on being paralysed four months after cycling world title win

Kristina Vogel on being paralysed four months after cycling world title win

Kristina Vogel, one of the world’s very best female track cyclists, won her record-breaking 11th title at the 2018 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.

Four months later, she was paralysed and in a wheelchair.

A junior Dutch cyclist was practising standing starts when Vogel crashed into him at full speed.

The double Olympic champion feels no resentment.

“I don’t need to forgive (the person because) I have no anger about him.”

She doesn’t know if her family feels the same.

“I have never asked them if they have forgiven him… I am scared to question that.”

The 28-year-old talked about her life-changing accident, acceptance and forgiveness.
