KATIE ARCHIBALD suffered a fractured wrist on Saturday’s second day of the Track World Cup in Glasgow — but won women’s Madison gold with Manon Lloyd anyway.

Archibald and Lloyd, on her 20th birthday, tumbled to the track after 18 laps of the 80-lap event before responding to win the first global women’s Madison competition.

The 22-year-old Archibald on Saturday evening took to Twitter to post photos of the crash and her visibly injured wrist.

Archibald, the Olympic team pursuit champion from Milngavie, north of Glasgow, is the star attraction for the home crowd this weekend.

After winning the two-person relay with Lloyd which features sprints every 10 laps, Archibald wiped away blood from her abrasions before joking about crashes being part and parcel of her job.

“It was a pretty exciting race,” said Archibald, who got “a bit of an adrenaline kick” from the fall.
