VIDEO: Ethan Hayter escapes a disaster as he slides off his saddle in the final of Track Pursuit at the Olympic Games

Ethan Hayter had a close call in the team pursuit final at the Paris Olympics. On the final lap, the 25-year-old Briton slid off his saddle and landed on the top tube of his bike. Incredibly, he managed to stay upright.
The final between Australia and Great Britain was evenly matched for a long time, but towards the end of the four-kilometre race it became clear that the ball would roll in Australia's direction.
The British also got the fright of their lives on the last lap when Hayter slid off his saddle and landed on the tube of his bike. For the INEOS Grenadiers rider it was most important to get his bike under control as quickly as possible to avoid a nasty crash.
And miraculously, he succeeded. Afterwards, he explained his near-accident in an interview with the BBC. Already with five laps to go, he felt the fatigue taking control over his body. "I had simply given too much," said the four-time world champion. "My whole body became weak and I could hardly keep myself on the bike. It's embarrassing to say that. Sorry to the other guys. We gave everything and we can be proud of that, that's what counts."

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024
