Do you have a list of 2016 Olympians who have died?

Only the ones that have died this year so far.

 

:ETH Abadi Hadis, 22 - Athletics (long term illness)

:ARG Braian Toledo, 26 - Athletics (traffic accident)

:FIN Vesa Tornroos, 37 - Shooting (cancer)

 

I could probably provide you with information for the intervening years but you may have to wait a week or two as I am fairly busy at the moment.

That would be interesting, but it's obviously not something for which I'm in a hurry. If you could at some point post it, I'd be very grateful!

American bobsledder Pavle Jovanovic - who was succesful as part of Steven Holcomb's crew, and at the end had a few less succesfull appearances for Serbia as well - has ended his life at the age of only 43, as announced by his former teammate Steven Mesler.

And a pretty strong testimonial about him from a former teammate is two posts above here. Very open and honest, both about the highs and the lows.

    • pdr4332   Explain to me what this Ukraine thing is all about? Isn't this just another Orban tactic to focus on this before the elections, instead of discussing, for example, the fact that during the 16 years of VO's rule in Budapest, Hungary's GDP has fallen from the level of Poland/Czech Republic to below Romania's? Does anyone in Hungary still fall for this, because it seems like something like this happens every four years: Soros, Brussels, now Ukraine, and who will be next

    • I remember when Ferrari dominated inFormula 1 in the early 21st century, the rules were deliberately changed to limit their advantage. Something similar recently happened with Mercedes' dominance after 2020. And here we have a situation where Norway is favored, if the Finns are telling the truth and that's strange – should the richest federation get some extra advantage from FIS? It's certainly better for the popularity of a given discipline to have a more diverse nations on the front, than to have 3 Norwegians skiers at the front with the rest of the world 2 minutes behind. But maybe that will change, because Norway isn't as dominant in the women's competitions without Bjoergen and Johaug. I think the situation will change somewhat after Klaebo's career, even without Rus's return. Without Klaebo, Norway would not have won the entire gold medal here: in the sprint it would have been Ogden from the USA, and in the combined race: Frenchman Desloges.   Of course, the stars like Klaebo and Phelps build the popularity of a their disciplines, but it always takes some kind of great rivalry- a great rival- for people to really take an interest that. For example, in Beijing, Phelps won 8 gold medals, but in the 100 butterfly, there was fierce competition and controversy with battle against Milorad Cavic. In Klaebo's case, this hasn't been that`s case since Bolshunov's exclusion and that certainly has some impact on the overall situation.
