Chris Hoy: With cancer in the final stage the gold medalist – With hardening his wife

== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man The British legend of cycling and the Chris Olympic Games Hoy shocks with his announcement that he was diagnosed with end-stage prostate cancer, who metastasized his bones. This announcement comes after the 48-year-old Scot said in February that he felt “optimistic and positive” as he was undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer diagnosed last year.

However, the sprinter, who worked as an expert with the BBC at the Paris Games last summer, now revealed that he knew for more than a year that his cancer is incurable. Despite his illness, Hoy says he remains positive and appreciates life. “By hand to heart, I am quite positive most of the time and I have genuine happiness,” Hoy told the Times.

” This is bigger than the Olympics. It’s bigger than anything else. This is about assessing life and finding joy. As unnatural as it may seem, this is nature. You know, we were all born and we all die, and that’s just part of the process,” he said. The champion wrote memoirs about his life in the last year, in which he describes how doctors discovered his cancer, after initially finding a tumor on his shoulder. The father of two children also said he had an allergic reaction to his chemotherapy, feeling “completely crushed at the end of it”.

Beyond his own treatment, Hoy received another blow when his wife Sarah Kemp was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in November.

” But you remind yourself, “I am not lucky that there is medicine I can take to fight it for as long as possible?” said optimistic Hoy.

” I’m not just saying those words. I have learned to live in the moment and have days of genuine joy and happiness. This is under no circumstances a denial or delusion. It is about trying to identify, what can we control?” he said continuing the deep confession. Fear and anxiety all come from trying to predict the future. But the future is this abstract concept in our minds. None of us know what’s going to happen. The only thing we know is that we have limited time on the planet.” Hoy was a pioneer in Britain’s era of cycling track, winning gold medals at the Athens, Beijing and London Olympics. He also won 11 world titles during a brilliant career, according to Reuters.

By 2021 Hoy was the most successful British Olympic champion and the most successful Olympic cyclist of all time, before being surpassed by his fellow Britishman Jason Kenny, who won his seventh Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games.
