Olivia Podmore aged 24 (NZ track cyclist) in the sprints who went to the olympics in 2016 died from suicide. Was a former junior medalist. Had a huge future but suffered from massive bouts of depression which ultimately claimed her. Horrible news.

This judo dude, who got bronze at the world championships in 2003. But he was killed in prison....where he was for shooting a young guy in the head for not drinking alcohol with him.

    • I still shocks, that a country of 4-5 million inhabitants? can be a powerhouse in almost every winter sport + handball, football (most recently with Haaland) and athletics: Ingebrigtsen, Warholm, etc. With such a small population, they can't be missing out on any major talent, surely? This must be the best training system in the world...
