Britain’s Katy Marchant suffered a broken arm and the UCI Track Champions League’s final round was cancelled following a nasty crash at the Lee Valley Velodrome on Saturday night. Marchant, who won gold as part of the Great Britain women’s sprint team at the in Paris, went over a barrier and landed in the crowd after a collision with German rider Alessa-Catriona Pröpster in the first round of the women’s keirin. Propster, on the inside of Marchant, quickly positioned herself high up the track and collided with the British rider at force. The pair were propelled into the crowd and required medical attention at the venue in Statford, east London. Television cameras broke away from the incident and the crowd fell silent while the riders were being treated, before those in attendance were asked to leave. Former professional road and track cyclist Adam Blythe, speaking on Eurosport, said: “I’ve got people up there that have given me the feedback and I’ve heard from a couple of her team-mates as well that Katy Marchant is all OK. Just a broken forearm and it’s a little bit of a shock. There were a couple of members from the crowd that were involved and they seem to be OK as well. Everyone’s in a good condition, although Katy has broken her forearm. “The racing has been cancelled for the night due to that crash, so a disappointment, but the good news and the main thing is that everyone is OK and in a good condition. Enough to get up and walk home tonight.” The UCI said in a statement: “We can confirm that following an incident during the women’s keirin races tonight, the rest of the UCI Track Champions League racing at Lee Valley VeloPark has been cancelled. More information will be provided when it becomes available.” British Cycling said: “We send our best wishes to the riders and spectators involved in the incident and will provide a further update as soon as we can.” The crash echoed the incident at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 when Olympic champion Matt Walls was one of three riders hospitalised following a horror crash. Walls, who won omnium gold at Tokyo 2021, was sent flying over the barriers and into the crowd at the Lee Valley Velodrome as he tried to take evasive action to avoid a pile-up ahead of him. A number of spectators including a small girl were hurt in the dramatic incident, leading , the five-time Olympic champion, to call for bigger barriers or screens to be fitted in velodromes. “Maybe there should be screens because Matt should not have been able to go over the top and into the crowd, that’s pretty damn dangerous,” Kenny said at the time. “It’s the third time now I’ve been in a velodrome and witnessed someone go over the top.”None
By ZEKE MILLER, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on Tuesday signed an agreement to allow the Justice Department to conduct background checks on his nominees and appointees after a weeks-long delay. The step lets Trump transition aides and future administration staffers obtain security clearances before Inauguration Day to access classified information about ongoing government programs, an essential step for a smooth transiton of power. It also allows those nominees who are up for Senate confirmation to face the background checks lawmakers want before voting on them. Teams of investigators have been standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers. “This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First Agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day,” said Susie Wiles, Trump’s designate to be White House chief of staff. Related Articles The announcement comes a week after the Trump transition team signed an agreement with the Biden White House to allow transition staff to coordinate with the existing federal workforce before taking office on Jan. 20. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. Security clearances are required to access classified information, including on ongoing operations and threats to the nation, and the Biden White House and outside experts have emphasized to Trump’s team the importance of having cleared personnel before Inauguration Day so they could be fully briefed and ready to run the government. Republican Senators have also insisted on FBI background checks for Trump’s nominees before they face confirmation votes, as has been standard practice for decades. Lawmakers have been particularly interested in seeing the findings of reviews into Trump’s designated nominee for defense secretary, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, and for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence. “That’s why it’s so important that we have an FBI background check, a committee review of extensive questions and questionnaires, and a public hearing,” said. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine on Monday. John Thune, the incoming Senate Republican leader, said the Trump team “understands there’s going to have to be a thorough vetting of all these nominees.” AP congressional correspondent Lisa Mascaro contributed.LONG BEACH, Calif.

Ukrainian Oligarch Firtash Among 8 Hit By Latest U.K. SanctionsManchester United fans have slammed Ruben Amorim 's decision to take captain Bruno Fernandes off while the team were chasing a goal in their 3-2 home loss to Nottingham Forest . Amorim suffered the second defeat of his reign as Nuno Espirito Santo's men claimed their first win at Old Trafford in almost 30 years thanks to goals from Nicola Milenkovic, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood. Rasmus Hojlund had initially got United level after Milenkovic's strike in the opening minute before Bruno pulled one back later in the game to make it 3-2 with a fantastic strike into the corner. However, fans were left baffled when Amorim withdrew Fernandes for Mount in the 76th minute despite United seeking an equaliser. One fan wrote: "Taking off Bruno and Ugarte has been a mistake. Mount and Zirkzee have done absolutely nothing," while another said: "You simply cannot take Bruno Fernandes off when you need to create two goals." Other supporters were in agreement as one posted: "We needed a goal and we took off Bruno Fernandes," as another tweet read: "Don't think taking Bruno off was the move." Amorim later clarified he subbed off his captain due to tiredness and thought the introduction of Mount in the same position would give the team more freshness. "Bruno [Fernandes] was too tired and I wanted [Mason] Mount to play that position of second midfielder who opens a bit on the left," he told Sky Sports after the game. BBC 5Live pundit Izzy Christensen hailed Fernandes after his performance and claimed Amorim was trying to protect him by withdrawing him early. "Bruno Fernandes has put in an absolute shift, he's been everywhere," she said. "Ruben Amorim has seen in his first few games how big Bruno Fernandes is to this system and has to protect him. Amorim needs to give other players the chance to be the hero, it can't always be Fernandes." United will have the chance to bounce back from their defeat when they travel to Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday before a huge Manchester Derby clash against fellow underperforming rivals Manchester City .
