Salman Hashimikov, FS wrestler from Russia has died.

He won 4 world titles in a row - 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1983.

Funny thing, he switched to pro wrestling in Japan, probably 1st Russian wrestler to do so.

:SCO Distance Runner Lachie Stewart, famous for winning the 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games Edinburgh 1970.....and I was there to see it!  :thumbup:  20th July 1970, an unforgettable day for everyone there because he was not by a long way the favourite.

Awful day in general, can't remember the last time we had three actives athletes being mentioned in the same day here....because 20-year old motorcycle racer Borja Gomez, leader in the European Stock Championship (part of the JuniorGP paddock), has died today after a crash during free practice for this week's races in Magny-Cours :(

Completely missed it, but one of the most influential figures in Dutch ski jumping, mostly known for his bigger roles in FIS though, has passed away last month. Horst Tielmann. That hits a little close to home, I believe my dad might still have his phone number from when he was trying to get some help and information from the Dutch skiing federation for Bruna...

Edit: just found some email conversations with mister Tielmann, we were trying to find some places to join some trainings in Germany, where he was working.
