Six-time Olympic track cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy has announced that his cancer is incurable, reports BBC. He has two to four years left to live, he said in an interview for Sunday Times.
The 48-year-old Scottish Olympian revealed at the beginning of 2024 that he had been diagnosed with cancer. However, she has known for a year that she is incurable.
“I have terminal cancer, but I still feel happy,” he told the Sunday Times.
Hoy won six Olympic gold medals between 2004 and 2012, the second most among British Olympians. The first is Sir Jason Kenny, who won seven. He retired from cycling in 2013 and in recent years has been a presenter and commentator for BBC Sport’s cycling broadcast.
He had not previously disclosed the type of insidious disease he was suffering from. He has been diagnosed with primary prostate cancer which has spread to his bones, he revealed to the Sunday Times. Tumors appeared in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine and ribs.
“Although it seems unnatural, it is nature. You see, we are all born and we all die – and this is just part of the process. It makes you wonder if I’m lucky enough to have a drug that can keep it away for as long as possible,” he said.
