Ruptured disk the reason for Michal Kwiatkowski's Olympic Games departure and possible season end
Cycling
Michal Kwiatkowski was 23rd in the time trial at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, 2:37 behind gold medalist Remco Evenepoel and 2:12 behind podium finisher and bronze medalist Wout van Aert. The Pole was scheduled to take part in the online race a few days later but eventually did not take the start.
Since then, nothing more has been heard. But now the INEOS Grenadiers rider has explained on his social networks the reason why he was not present.
"It hasn't been easy weeks because of the ruptured disc, but I'm getting back. The rehab is paying off and I'm getting back in shape. Thanks for all the support, and much love to my family and friends," the 34-year-old wrote.
It is not yet known when Kwiato will return to racing, he is not entered in any race at the moment but we wish him a speedy and efficient recovery and that he will be on the roads giving us all his talent as soon as possible.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
