Dutch contestant Amy Peters, who suffered brain damage following a training accident last December, has been taken to an intensive neurological rehabilitation center in the Netherlands.
The three-time world champion Madison needed surgery and fell into a medically induced coma after the accident in Alicante, Spain, and regained consciousness in April.
And her team, SD Works, said today, Thursday, that Peters, “31 years,” was transferred to the center to continue recovery.
Peters won the Madison world championships in 2019, 2020 and 2021, along with Kirsten Field, but did not win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year after finishing fourth.
Doctors said in April that while her condition had improved slightly, she was able to identify people and understand what they were being told, there were still concerns about the long-term effect of the brain injury.
A donation site was launched for Peters after the accident, and the team added that the next stage of her recovery includes allowing her to spend short periods at home.
