heywoodu 13,615 Posted April 16 #885 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Bernd Hölzenbein, famous for his dive that gave West Germany a free penalty in the 1974 World Cup final, has died. He played in the US in the final years of his career, but said (long) career consisted mostly of many highly impressive years at Eintracht Frankfurt. German football players are leaving this world fast the past few months..

heywoodu 13,615 Posted May 2 #888 Share Posted May 2 (edited) On 2/24/2024 at 1:19 PM, heywoodu said: Dutch former figure skater Joan Haanappel has died in Belgium, where she had lived for years, aged 83. Competed in the Olympics in 1956 and 1960 with a 13th and 5th place, and won three bronze European medals. Together with Olympic champion Sjoukje Dijkstra she is seen as the best the Netherlands has ever had to offer in the sport. https://www.ad.nl/schaatsen/voormalig-olympisch-kunstschaatsster-joan-haanappel-83-overleden~a43871b8/ She had also been a commentator for decades since 1975, mostly for NOS and Eurosport, and even hosted a major German sports show in the 80's. A little over two months later and the other Dutch figure skating legend, the aforementioned Sjoukje Dijkstra, has passed away today, aged 82.

Monzanator 3,618 Posted May 6 #890 Share Posted May 6 Well, Pieleshenko was banned for doping for 8 years (until 2026) so it's not like we'd seen him in sports anymore. The ban was so long since he was banned for stanozolol for 2 years before already. Biathlonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
