NZ's Wilde breaks ribs and collar bone in bike crash

New Zealand's Hayden Wilde has said he faces a "few weeks" out of action while he recovers from injuries sustained in a bike crash in Japan.

Wilde, who was second to Great Britain's Alex Yee in the men's triathlon at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, had finished seventh in a 10km running race in Tokyo on Saturday before the accident took place.

"Broken four ribs. Scapular broken. Injured lungs. Surrounded with the best help. Keep you posted," wrote Wilde in a social media post on Sunday.

"Pretty gutted after such a nice day."

Wilde, who was third at the Olympics in Tokyo, added that he would have to remain in Japan "for a few weeks" because the injury to his lungs meant "it's not possible to travel".
