Ed, this just sounds horrible. I hate to hear this happen to anyone and I find it disappointing that another elite/pro triathlete behaved with such disrespect for another human’s well-being. No championship is worth such lack of compassion. Do you remember if he had any sort of accent? Or maybe anything else distinctive about him that you may have picked up in those few seconds? Bike manufacture/tri kit/sponsor on kit? Sometimes, despite serious trauma, people can recall quite a few things even in very short periods of interaction.
More importantly, please continue to monitor your condition and maybe get second MRI’s/ opinions done by specialists in that injured region should it continue to significantly cause you pain and discomfort. I found additional bones broken myself when I did this. A close triathlete friend of mine found ligaments completely torn away from muscle (in surgery) when nothing solid significant showed up in scans. Be good to yourself and I hope you heal well.
