: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.

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
