New Zealand track cyclist Nick Kergozou crashed at over 60km/h in Glasgow during a full-speed training ride, ending his Commonwealth Games campaign. He was hospitalised with three back fractures after a rider from another country caused a three-bike pile-up. Kergozou stated that "preventable risk shouldn't be" part of the sport and athlete safety needs to be a responsibility.
