Yesterday news filtered out that Chrissie Wellington sustained some pretty serious injuries following a bike accident at the weekend. Since then, the three-time World Champion has posted the following update on her website, chrissiewellington.org:

“It has been a rough a few days but I wanted to update everyone by informing you that I fell off my bike during a ride on Saturday 2 January.  The fall resulted in a few broken fingers and bones in my hand, wrist and arm.

“I underwent an operation on Monday 4 January to insert some wires in my wrist.  The operation was a success and I am back home today.  I should be out of plaster within 6 weeks.

“The good news is I will be staying in the Uk for the TCR Show and the 220 Awards Dinner so I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible over those days in February (13th/14th). Smiles, Chrissie.”

We all wish Chrissie a speedy recovery.
