Chris Hoy, the legendary British Olympic athlete, recently gave an update on his health and it seems that he is doing well. It has been quite some time since he first revealed that he has terminal cancer and many people have been wondering how he is doing. The 48-year-old, who is a six-time Olympic champion and the second most decorated Olympic cyclist of all time, was diagnosed with cancer in September of 2023. He bravely shared this news with the public in February of this year and also mentioned that he was undergoing chemotherapy.
Just this month, Hoy provided another update and shared that he has been given a prognosis of two to four years to live. Sadly, his prostate cancer has spread to his bones and is now considered terminal. Despite this difficult news, Hoy made his first public appearance since the update. He appeared on the BBC's coverage of the World Track Cycling Championships today. BBC presenter Jill Douglas welcomed him and asked how he was doing. Hoy replied that he was doing well and added that he was having a great week with some incredible performances and hopefully more to come.
It's always a pleasure for Hoy to be back in the track centre, surrounded by familiar faces, teammates, coaches, and rivals. He has many happy memories of coming to Copenhagen in 2002 and 2010. On his Instagram account, Hoy also shared his excitement about being in Copenhagen for the World Track Cycling Championships. He mentioned that he was broadcasting with the wonderful BBC sport team and that there have been some truly incredible performances, including world records. He also mentioned the new generation of future stars who have been showing their skills on the track.
Despite the positive updates, Hoy wanted to reassure his fans about his health. He shared that there may be some news articles about his health this weekend, but he wants everyone to know that he is feeling fit, strong, and positive. He also expressed his gratitude for the love and support shown to him and his family during this difficult time. He ended his post with a determined "onwards!"
In the midst of Hoy's health struggles, his wife Sarra also received a difficult diagnosis. Just weeks after Hoy was told he had terminal cancer, Sarra was diagnosed with an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis. This degenerative disease has no cure and Sarra experienced tingling sensations in her face and tongue before her diagnosis. Despite these challenges, the couple remains strong and united, facing their health battles together.
