Triplecast 114 Posted May 7, 2022 #596 Share Posted May 7, 2022 This is sad to see: Kenny Moore 1972 4th place Marathon, 14th in 1968 age 78. Among other things: "Moore spent several years working to try to free Ethiopian marathoner Mamo Wolde, the 1968 Olympic champion (and 3rd in 1972 to Moore's 4th). Wolde had been arrested by Ethiopian authorities who felt he participated in an assassination attempt against the country’s dictator. Moore and the IOC petitioned for his release, which occurred, but only after he had spent six years in prison."

heywoodu 13,547 Posted May 9, 2022 #597 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Congolese-Dutch footballer Jody Lukoki passed away aged 29. He started his pro career at Ajax, eventually played years for Bulgarian Ludogorets and via Turkey made his way back to the Netherlands recently. There FC Twente fired him in February, most likely due to being convicted for domestic violence.
