Kristina Vogel was hit by a vehicle at the end of May 2009, suffering multiple fractures and spending two days in an induced coma. Now, the 19-year-old is preparing to ride in the World Track Championships in Copenhagen next month. “It is a miracle to me that she is even in the saddle again,” said German sprint trainer Detlef Uibel.
