Damn :( 

 

Died due to complications at childbirth, according to Wikipedia - which is the only English 'source' I've found so far, so it is a question.

Unfortunately it is true, she have some kind of disorder in pregnancy called  Pre-eclampsia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-eclampsia

not Olympians, but still...

 

in 2 days Italy lost 2 of their most famous football players, 2 legends on the opposite sides of Milan and 2 truly greats of our National team...

 

first, it was "God's Left Foot", FC Inter star, Mario "Mariolino" Corso to leave us at the age of 78...

Not a smart remark, considering:

Madsen had already rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean and circumnavigated Britain, as well completing a row from California to Hawaii with a partner.

Hahaha tomorrow she says she want to jump from a mountain what would you do? 

Especially during these times I don't think it's smart for something like this. It's better to stay and support your family.

You're not reading the quote, I think. She was doing what she had already succesfully done before, just in a different place this time. It's not like she was doing something dumb, doing something entirely new or something she had no business doing.

 

So she had to stay and 'support her family' (by doing what, exactly? Chasing dreams seems a better thing to do than just sitting at home watching time pass by).

It’s a big loss for the local Paralympic community. She had acted as a coach and mentor for many young athletes at Angel City Sports. She died trying to push the boundaries of what it means to be and paraplegic. She was an experienced rower, but the ocean is a fickle being.

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
