BMX racer Connor Fields, who 'nearly died' after crash at Tokyo Olympics, is undergoing rehab

BMX racer Connor Fields is undergoing evaluation and rehabilitation for a brain hemorrhage he suffered at the Olympics during a crash that Fields said was nearly fatal. 

“Do people realize I nearly died?’’ he wrote on Twitter in response to comments that the Paris Games are only three years away.

“Brain hemmorage? [sic] No memory.... Maybe I’m not ready to commit to that yet? Can we chill for just a sec? Maybe focus on lunch next week first....’’ 

Fields, 28, is being treated at the University of Utah Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital in Salt Lake City and will be there for a month, his father told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.
