British Olympic cyclist Katie Archibald literally got a bad break all for simply walking around at home.

Archibald, 30, announced on Instagram Thursday that she broke her leg tripping over a step in her garden. She also dislocated her ankle and tore ligaments off the bone.

What the heck, she wrote.

Indeed. Archibald suddenly wont be competing in Paris.

A hundred apologies for what this means for the Olympic team, which Ive been told wont involve me, she wrote. Im still processing that bit of news, but thought I better confirm it publicly instead of leaving it to the grapevine (trip hazard and all that).

The track-cycling star shared a rueful selfie from her hospital bed and a snap of her cast on her lower left leg.

She had surgery to pin the bones back together and reattach the ligaments, and reported that it took some doing to realign her ankle as well.

Ciao for now, she said.
