The Dutch went to 33-year-old head and seemed on his way to gold when they crashed. After her fall she lay motionless on the roadside.
“I am still quite worried,” said national coach Johan Lammerts, who was present when Van Vleuten ambulance was taken to the hospital, against NU.nl .
“we have to wait and see what news we get on, but she seems to be okay she is also conscious..”

Intensive care
a little later revealed that Van Vleuten has three fracture particles in a spine and a severe concussion . She must remain 24 hours in intensive care, but approachable. Later in the evening she responded via Twitter.
“I am now in hospital with some injuries and fractures, but that’s okay. I’m especially super disappointed after the best race of my career. Thank all messages. Congratulations Anna van der Breggen. We were today a super team with Ellen van Dijk and Marianne Vos, “she wrote.
Van der Breggen
Van Vleuten started with the American Mara Abbott on the descent to the finish line on the promenade of Copacabana. Utrecht showed the most daring in downhill and they took away from the conservative Abbott.
Abbott was overtaken in the final meters by the trio Anna van der Breggen, Emma Johansson and Elisa Longo Borghini. The Dutch Van der Breggen pulled itself the sprint and took the Olympic title from Marianne Vos
