Athletes Deaths Thread

Spain's only female winter olympic medallist, Blanca Fernandez-Ochoa, bronze in Albertville 1992 in Slalom, has been found dead at 56 years.

 

 

She was quite a celebrity here, and very loved, so her going missing since the 23 in August has been fully covered in the media. Searching teams have been working hard these days in some mountains looking for her, but sadly her body was found today :cry:

One of my biathlon legends.

 

He was one of the key guys in the era when Biathlon was transformed from this weird obscure military sport into one of the world’s most exciting and popular professional sports.

not the greatest athlete in the world of Gymnastics (I don't think he ver took part into the Games as an athlete), but surely a man that heavily influenced this Sport, being the world federation's President for about 20 years...

 

Bruno Grandi died earlier today at the age of 85...
