Kiwi triathlete Hayden Wilde's 2025 season has been thrown into disarray following a bike crash in Japan.
Wilde was training for his WTS Yokohama race on May 17 when he crashed, breaking four ribs, his scapula and sustaining lung damage.
In a post to Instagram, the two-time Olympic medallist said he was "pretty gutted" by the injuries following a good day of training.
In a post from the hospital, Wilde said he was "surrounded with the best help" and thanked his team and sponsors.
The lung damage meant the 27-year-old can't fly, and would remain in Japan until he was able to return to Europe and rehabilitation at the Red Bull headquarters in Austria.
Wilde has had a successful start to 2025, winning the opening T100 race in Singapore and currently leads the World Triathlon Series.
