heywoodu 10,518 Posted March 29, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Three weeks after the previous post, and things went as horribly fast as they go with this....her family has just announced the death of Bibian Mentel, 48 years old. Truly one of the most well-known and well-liked athletes in the Netherlands (granted, not so much because of her athletic career, but more because of her fame on TV in recent years), and an absolute legend in parasports in general. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNA3S9olMj-/ Jinzha, Olympian1010 and NearPup 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
