The Scot crashes on the final bend of her 1500m semi-final, piling into the barriers where she is attended by medics before leaving the venue on a stretcher. Subsequent scans reveal no broken bones, leaving open the possibility of her competing in the heats of her final event, the 1000m, on Tuesday
