The whole world was concerned about French cyclist Loana Lecomte at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris after she suffered a serious fall during the women’s cross-country mountain bike race on Sunday.

Lecomte fell while running the women’s downhill rock garden in a mountain bike race at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. She had to be carried off the course on a stretcher to receive medical attention.

According to French reporter Nicolas Georgereau, the 24-year-old cyclist fell headfirst and was then hit on the head by her bike, losing consciousness for a few moments.

She did not move after falling to the ground, although cameras quickly panned away from her. Despite concerns for her well-being, no replays of the incident were shown.
