Olympic medalist Toshiaki Fushimi died Sunday from injuries sustained in a crash during a keirin race in Japan. The 50-year-old Japanese cyclist suffered fractures to his cervical vertebrae and skull after colliding with a safety barrier during Saturday’s Matsusaka Keirin race. Since Fushimi’s professional debut in 1995, he has won 619 races, including the Keirin Grand Prix in 2001 and 2007. The Japan Keirin Association (JKA) confirmed his death at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday. “It is truly heartbreaking that he lost his life in an accident during a race,” JKA chairman Hiroshi Kido said.
