Sir Chris Hoy, a British Olympic cyclist, has been diagnosed with primary cancer in his prostate, and a scan revealed tumors in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine, and rib. Despite the severity of his condition, Hoy expressed optimism and positivity, stating he feels fine and intends to continue finding joy despite his terminal diagnosis. Doctors reportedly told him he has between two and four years to live.

    1. You may see in the news this weekend some articles about my health, so I just wanted to reassure you all that I'm feeling fit, strong and positive, and overwhelmed by all the love and support shown to my family and me. Onwards!
    2. I'm optimistic, positive … I currently feel fine. I am continuing to work, ride my bike and live my life as normal.
    3. It's the closest I've come to, like, you know, why me? Just, what? What's going on here? It didn't seem real. It was such a huge blow, when you're already reeling. You think nothing could possibly get worse. You literally feel like you're at rock bottom, and you find out, oh no, you've got further to fall. It was brutal.
    4. Hand on heart, I'm pretty positive most of the time and I have genuine happiness. This is bigger than the Olympics. It's bigger than anything. This is about appreciating life and finding joy.
    5. I'm not superstitious, almost the opposite. In a scientific way I see it as just the law of averages. If you keep rolling the dice and going on black, you can't land on black every time. It's going to be red eventually.

    1. Shortly after being told that he has between 2-4 years to live because of his terminal cancer … his lovely wife, Sarra, was diagnosed with MS. The man remains an incredible inspiration. Sending love to the whole family.
    2. Blown away by the resilience and determination of Sir Chris Hoy this morning.
