Whilst Grace Brown managed to bring home a gold medal for the Australian Cycling Team at the 2024 Paris
Olympic Games in the women's individual time trial,
Luke Plapp's hopes of emulating his compatriot in the men's race were sadly ended by a very nasty crash.
"Plapp underwent abdominal surgery last night in a Paris hospital. His parents and an Australian team doctor were at the hospital with him," reads an official announcement by the Australian Cycling Team's social media pages in the early hours of this Sunday morning. "Further medical details are not available at this time."
