The 19-year-old had already suffered a fall in the first of her three semi-final runs, but picked herself up to qualify for the final.

"I'm hurting. I think I might have broken my hand and I'm cut all over," said Reade.

She was in second place behind France's Anne-Caroline Chausson when she tried to overtake her on the inside but clipped the back of her rival and fell, suffering a suspected broken hand in the process.

She added: "I'm only 19, there's so much more to come from me as an athlete. I feel like I might not want to see my bike for a while.

"I just caught the back wheel and went over. But I put everything into this race.

"I've fallen off and got back up, I've fallen off and got back up. I gave it my heart and everything, but today it wasn't good enough.

"I gave it the best shot I had and I didn't have any more."
