Apparently he caught two men trying to steal mirrors from his car and got stabbed in the middle of the day. What the fuck?! :sick:

 

It's a great thing that the Olympics won't be gonig to Almaty...

To be fair, I guess those senseless things happen everywhere...it's not like that would be impossible in Stockholm, or Graz or something...but this is horrible :( 

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Reports are saying that Kazakhstan's Olympic medalist, Denis Ten, has tragically passed away following an attack in Almaty. If true, this is devastating :cry:

 

Wow, I’m speechless. That’s just tragic...

Well, I've never heard about someone getting stabbed over car mirrors, let alone an elite athlete...

I've heard about people getting stabbed for trying to prevent someone from stealing their bike...not an elite athlete, but that's just because a vast majority of people is not an elite athlete.

 

Anyway, I'm shocked..

What a blow for Central Asian sports and skating in general. He was one of the few skaters I knew and cheered for. What a senseless loss of life
