Not that well known athlete, but former president of Polish NOC Andrzej Kraśnicki has died today at age of 75 after long battle with disease. 

 

In the years 2010-2023 he was the President of the Polish Olympic Committee, a member of the Executive Committee of the Association of European Olympic Committees (EOC), one of six European representatives on the Executive Council of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC), a member of the Foundation Council of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the President of the Polish Olympic Foundation. In past he was also president of Polish Handball federation.

 

RIP

Lot more detail here about this long and remarkable career.  Really an insight into a bygone age of athletics.

Rescuers are no longer expecting to find any survivors, so this is all but confirmed now :(

      I find it interesting how these events are all contested separately in the WC, vs the Olympics where the technical+free (e.g.) are together. Especially since here at this WC, I think just 2 teams competed in all 3 disciplines, and not sure about the women's duet.

      ioc operates under Swiss law is it illegas in ? no so, it's as simple as it looks: no test? no professional sport (at least those sanctioned by ioc) end.   being an Olympian wasn't ordered by the doctor, if you don't like the ioc rules, just don't take part in ioc sanctioned sports/events
