Abadi Hadis, 22 - Athletics (long term illness) Braian Toledo, 26 - Athletics (traffic accident) 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. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 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!

Very open and honest, both about the highs and the lows.
