One of the greatest Olympians in British history, Sir Chris Hoy, has disclosed that he has terminal cancer.
Doctors estimate that the 48-year-old, six-time Olympic cycling gold champion, has only two to four years to live.
Hoy announced on social media that he had received a cancer diagnosis and that his treatment was “thankfully going really well” back in February.
“I’m optimistic, positive,” he continued.

He had tumors in his hip, spine, ribs, shoulder, and pelvis.
“You are told one sentence that some person you’ve never met before has just told you,” Hoy stated in a memoir he wrote within the last year.

Next month, his memoir will be released.
He also described his wife Sarra’s experience dealing with the diagnosis of “very active and aggressive” multiple sclerosis after a

Telling their kids Callum and Chloe was the hardest part, according to Hoy, but he managed to find perspective and optimism.
“I’m not attempting to act like every day is fantastic. However, I do occasionally experience true delight.
