"The local organizing committee, Rio 2016, said the collision was a minor event and Tuesday was not an official training day for cycling events."
Was I the only one thinking this sounded a bit like the organising committee are blaming Kim Ok-cheol for being on the road when he shouldn't?! :-o Of course, you can only train when the organising committee say so, and cyclists shouldn't really be on the road anyway...
Or are they just trying to avoid blame in case anyone thinks they didn't organise something properly?
Reads abit like that, but i'd like to think that they mean that if it wasnt official training that he was on his own (i.e. not in a group, no team support car etc), so when he had an accident it was abit more concerning or interesting. (i.e. imagine if you have an accident in your car, or whatever, then the person gets up and says their competing in the olympics tomorrow).
I also read the 'didnt want to go to hospital' to mean 'i've not got an awful disease now and i dont want to go there and pick one up'.
