Olympic medallist Denny Morrison in hospital in Utah after suffering stroke

Canadian speedskater and Olympic medallist Denny Morrison says he’s in a Utah hospital after suffering a stroke.

The 30-year-old Morrison tweeted from his official Twitter account on Saturday night at the Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah – two days after he was expected to complete a 25-day mountain bike ride from Arizona to Utah.

Only 11 months ago Morrison was in the hospital after he sustained serious injuries from a motorcycle accident.

“Almost a year post accident. And done mountain biking 800 miles across Arizona, I’m back in a hospital bed again. Had a stroke today,” tweeted Morrison.

Speed Skating Canada had no immediate information regarding Morrison’s tweet.
