SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France – BMX racer Kye Whyte of Great Britain was taken off the course on a stretcher after crashing in the second run of men’s semifinals Friday at the Paris Olympics.

Whyte finished fifth in Heat 2 of the first run of the semifinals in a time of 38.808 seconds.
He won silver in BMX racing at the Tokyo Olympics.
American racer Kamren Larsen also crashed in his second run of the semifinals. Larsen walked off the course under his own power after the crash, which occurred when he hit the elbow of another rider on the first turn.
