Shane Rose's Olympic Hopes in Jeopardy After Severe Fall

The Australian equestrian suffered multiple fractures and a concussion, putting his participation in the Paris Olympics in doubt.

Shane Rose, a three-time Olympic medallist, was hospitalized in intensive care with serious injuries from a fall during a cross-country schooling session.
The injuries include a badly broken femur, fractured pelvis and ribs, and a heavy concussion, requiring surgery to stabilize the fractures.
Rose had recently secured his place at the Paris 2024 Olympics, but his current condition throws his participation into serious doubt.
Last month, Rose was at the center of a controversy over wearing a mankini at an event but was cleared by Equestrian Australia to continue competing.
Despite previous qualifications for the Olympics in 1996 and 2012, Rose was unable to compete due to injuries to his horse, marking a history of unfortunate events affecting his Olympic participations.
