Dutch cyclist disqualified

News summary

The Netherlands have been disqualified from the men's Madison cycling event at the Paris Olympics following a collision involving Team GB's Ollie Wood, which left him injured. Dutch cyclist Jan-Willem van Schip was accused of deliberately headbutting Wood during the race, resulting in a fine and the disqualification of the Dutch team for 'improper conduct'. Wood, who described the impact as feeling like a 'crash test dummy', managed to return to the track after passing a concussion test but finished in 10th place alongside teammate Mark Stewart. The incident exacerbates tensions between the British and Dutch teams, as it follows earlier accusations of rough play in another race. Portugal secured the gold medal, while Denmark and Italy took silver and bronze, respectively. Despite the disappointment, Wood previously won a silver medal in the team pursuit earlier in the games.
