He was involved in one of the most memorable Olympic event for me (I really vivibly remember that first men's ski cross final). Really sad to hear he died in such a random fashion.

There are some rumors about the death of Laura Dahlmaier. That would be shocking.

It has not been confirmed, but it has been confirmed that her situation is very bad (nobody has actually reached her yet, but a fly-over where she fell showed no signs of life):

Never thought I'd be talking in this thread about the person who was basically my favourite athlete in the world, across all sports, for her entire senior career :cry:

 

Rest in peace, Laura Dahlmeier :cry:

    • Missed this earlier, but BBC has signed a deal to show games over the next four years.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cnv8qlgdnezo
    • Surprisingly the BBC gave this a breaking news notification from their Sport app. Unusual for someone who has been semi retired for a couple of years now. 
    • However it is illegal in some countries which the IOC is aware of, And which could cause issues particularly for those under 18.

    • sprinter Adam Gemili.  Never quite got the big Global medals as an individual runner, but always a key member of the 4x100m squad.  Had PBs of sub-10 for 100m and sub-20 for the 200m, which is very elite form indeed.     Adam Gemili: Former European champion sprinter retires - BBC Sport
    • A great loss for the Polish national team. Komenda is perhaps the weakest link in this currently superb team.
