	Description:		Kristina Vogel, one of the world’s very best female track cyclists, won her record-breaking 11th title at the 2018 UCI Track Cycling World Championships. Four months later, she was paralysed and in a wheelchair. A junior Dutch cyclist was practising standing starts when Vogel crashed into him at full speed. The double Olympic champion feels no resentment. “I don’t need to forgive (the person because) I have no anger about him.” She doesn’t know if her family feels the same. “I have never asked them if they have forgiven him… I am scared to question that.” The 28-year-old talked about her life-changing accident, acceptance and forgiveness.
