:ITA Alessandro Talotti died yesterday at the age of only 40 because of a cancer.

He was 2 time Olympian in Athletics, men's High Jump (finalist in Athens 2004, out in the qualification round in Beijing 2008).

His wife is multiple Roller Skating (Artistic) world champion Silvia Stibilj and they have a 1-year young baby, which makes Alessandro's death even tougher to be accepted...:cry:

R.I.P.

Lee Evans, 1968 Olympic 400m champion, dies at 74

One of the best.  He might have repeated in 1972, but for one bad race in the US trials.

:HUN Sandor Puhl - referee of 1994 World Cup final and 1997 UEFA Champions League final has passed away at age 65.

 

He was probably the best European referee in the mid 90s but his international career was cut short when he failed to send off Denis Irwin in UCL match in late 1997 IIRC. Laszlo Vagner was nominated for 1998 World Cup as well.

      Shooting ISSF World Cup 2025

      By phelps · Posted

      so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
