Available for over a year

Double Olympic champion Kristina Vogel reigned supreme at the velodrome, winning two Olympic track cycling golds and multiple world titles, and her eyes were firmly fixed on more. But in 2018 the German cyclist was involved in an accident at the track which left her paralysed from the chest down. Six years on, Vogel tells Sportshour’s Caroline Barker about her love for both life and cycling – and why if she could choose, she wouldn’t change anything.
