Do you have a list of 2016 Olympians who have died?

Only the ones that have died this year so far.

 

:ETH Abadi Hadis, 22 - Athletics (long term illness)

:ARG Braian Toledo, 26 - Athletics (traffic accident)

:FIN Vesa Tornroos, 37 - Shooting (cancer)

 

I could probably provide you with information for the intervening years but you may have to wait a week or two as I am fairly busy at the moment.

That would be interesting, but it's obviously not something for which I'm in a hurry. If you could at some point post it, I'd be very grateful!

American bobsledder Pavle Jovanovic - who was succesful as part of Steven Holcomb's crew, and at the end had a few less succesfull appearances for Serbia as well - has ended his life at the age of only 43, as announced by his former teammate Steven Mesler.

And a pretty strong testimonial about him from a former teammate is two posts above here. Very open and honest, both about the highs and the lows.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
