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:
