UPDATE: Dutch media reports Annemiek van Vleuten is in intensive care after horror crash

Annemiek van Vleuten took a sickening fall in the women's road race on Sunday evening.

Leading with 11 km to go, the Dutch cyclist lost control of her bike while taking a downhill corner. Van Vleuten tumbled face-first over the handlebars and landed on her head on the pavement, seemingly being knocked unconscious on impact.

And while the race was still taking place, nobody seemed to quite care who took the gold as all were united in concern for van Vleuten. Thankfully, the 33-year-old regained consciousness and was taken to the hospital according to the Dutch cycling federation. https://twitter.com/KNWU/status/762366862650961924 But in a distressing update from Dutch media late on Sunday night, it was reported that van Vleuten had suffered a concussion and three spinal fractures in the crash. The report, from NOS Sport, claims that the cyclist will also remain in intensive care for 24 hours. https://twitter.com/NOSsport/status/762401177732546560
