heywoodu 13,663 Posted December 9, 2023 #831 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Aerials skier/jumper Maksim Gustik of Belarus has died, aged 35, after a traffic collision today. Hadn't competed internationally since the Beijing Olympics, for obvious reasons, but until then he had a very long and succesful career: he finished in the top-10 of the World Cup standings in nine seasons, from 2011 to 2021. Also 2 World Cup wins, 9 podiums in a World Cup career that started almost 16 years ago. mrv86 and Josh 2 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!
