Connor Fields has been moved out of the critical care unit and will remain in the hospital until cleared, according to USA Cycling. Fields also suffered a broken rib and bruised lung in the crash, according to his father.
Russian Olympic Committee responded to critics about their athletes not being"clean." Simone Biles continues to struggle with the"twisties.", suffered a brain hemorrhage at the venue but doctors reported there has been no additional bleeding and no new head injuries were found, USA Cycling said in a news release issued Saturday.
“There’s a bit of fluid on his brain, but it has not increased for the next 24 hours, so they’re feeling good about that,’’ Mike Fields, his father, told USA TODAY Sports on Saturday. “So far the results seem pretty positive.’’ Fields, a medal favorite who crashed in a semifinal heat at Ariake Urban Sports Park, underwent a CT scan on his brain Saturday morning, according to his father. He also had CT scans on his spine and abdomen.
The hope is that Connor Fields will be released from the hospital in five days and then flown home, his father said.
