These pictures are amazing and frieghtening

A top cyclist who crashed as he raced behind British champion Sir Chris Hoy was skewered with a 20cm splinter - but got back on his bike to finish an amazing THIRD.

Azizulhasni Awang was in the final bend of a world title race yesterday, when four of the six riders crashed in a scene of carnage behind Sir Chris, the winner.

The 23-year-old's calf was skewered by a shard of Siberian pine from the track, but he recovered to remount his bike and take third place, behind Sir Chris and Jason Niblett in the men's Keirin final at the Track World Cup.

When you're name is Awang you can get away with anything.

Compare this sportsman's attitude with those of the modern day footballer. If a premiership player chips a fingernail he rolls around on the floor as though he has been shot.
