Sir Chris Hoy has returned to cycling just 12 weeks after breaking his leg in what he described as the 'worst crash I’ve ever had'. The six-time Olympic champion, who is battling terminal prostate cancer, shared an emotional update on Instagram detailing his recovery journey.
The 48-year-old Scot required emergency surgery after the mountain biking accident. Despite the setback, he managed to attend the World Darts Championship final in January, presenting the trophy to Luke Littler while on crutches.
In his post, Hoy thanked his physiotherapist Katie Flatters and soft tissue specialist Vicki Hayles for their support. He also acknowledged his wife Sarra, who 'has helped me find a way through challenging times with love and humour'.
Hoy revealed his cancer diagnosis in February 2024, and announced in November that it had spread to his bones, with doctors giving him between two and four years to live. The former track cyclist competed in four Olympic Games between 2000 and 2012, winning 11 world titles.
