Daredevil rider Laurine Van Riessen has some guts
The Olympic sports are supposed to captivate spectators on live television and inspire generations. But what happens when things go out of hand? Of course, the athletes are still human. Laurine Van Riessen, a Dutch track cyclist, learned the hard way.
This image proves what we already know. Everything that goes up must fall down. When she landed, Laurine collided with her opponent, and she required a medical evacuation. She had several fractured bones. Only time will tell if she will be available to compete again.
