American BMX racer Connor Fields has been moved out of critical care unit at St. Luke’s International hospital a day after suffering a brain hemorrhage during a horrific qualifying crash at the Tokyo Olympics.
Fields was injured during his third qualifying run when he slammed into the first turn and was hit by two other riders. The 28-year-old from Las Vegas was taken by stretcher to an ambulance.
USA Cycling says Fields spent the night in the ICU and doctors reported no additional bleeding or injuries.
USA Cycling staff have been in contact with his family to navigate his care options. Fields will remain in the hospital until cleared.
