The three-time world champion Madison He was taken by helicopter to a hospital, admitted and operated on, but fell into a coma and did not wake up until April. During this time he stayed in an intensive neurorehabilitation center in the Netherlands.
The last post on his website said the cyclist, with some help, was getting out of the saddle and taking steps on his own. “She walks for short moments when supported. This is what we like to see, but we must have patience and hope. We are convinced that Amy will make us see very beautiful things.”
However, not everything is easy. The website also says that Peters still face many challenges every day. “It’s been getting harder lately to motivate Amy to do some physical exertion.” “She still can’t speak well and that makes it difficult for us to understand her when she wants to say something. Since Amy can’t explain herself well it’s more difficult, although luckily she always gets motivated thinking about the game.”
Doctors noted in April that although his condition had improved as expected and he was able to recognize people and understand what they were saying, they were still unsure of the long-term effects of his brain damage.
