Kristina Vogel, one of the world’s very best female track cyclists, won her record-breaking 11th title at the 2018 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.

Four months later, she was paralysed and in a wheelchair.

A junior Dutch cyclist was practising standing starts when Vogel crashed into him at full speed.

The double Olympic champion feels no resentment.

“I don’t need to forgive (the person because) I have no anger about him.”

She doesn’t know if her family feels the same.

“I have never asked them if they have forgiven him… I am scared to question that.”

The 28-year-old talked about her life-changing accident, acceptance and forgiveness.
