1988 Jamaican Bobsleigh Coach died recently :cry:

 

Pat Brown? I can't find any source...not that I don't believe you, but I'm curious to read some more.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Cross-country skier :FIN Mona-Liisa Nousiainen (nee Malvalehto) has died aged 36 after a long illness (which probably means cancer).

A 36-year old mother of one who's been keeping her body in excellent condition all her life one can assume. Life ain't fair.

Not much known for his unimpressive ride at the Olympics (33rd), but what a legend of the sport. One of only seven riders to win the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España :bowdown:
