Cross-country skier :FIN Mona-Liisa Nousiainen (nee Malvalehto) has died aged 36 after a long illness (which probably means cancer).

A 36-year old mother of one who's been keeping her body in excellent condition all her life one can assume. Life ain't fair.

Not much known for his unimpressive ride at the Olympics (33rd), but what a legend of the sport. One of only seven riders to win the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España :bowdown:
