A WORLD champion skier has died suddenly aged just 30.
Freestyler Pavel Krotov from Russia passed away unexpectedly overnight on Friday.
World champion skier Pavel Krotov died aged 30 3
Russian national team head coach, Alexander Pongilsky, revealed Krotov suffered a brain haemorrhage when a blood vessel burst in his sleep on Friday night.
It is understood the skier would have required immediate emergency treatment to have any chance of survival.
The Russian Freestyle Federation said: "Many people remember Pavel as a friendly, personable and courageous person.
"We express our deep and sincere condolences to the family, relatives and colleagues of Pavel Krotov.”
Krotov was born in Yaroslavl in April 1992 and specialised in the aerials discipline of skiing.
He represented his country at the 2014 Winter Olympics in his home nation but failed to qualify for the final.
At Pyeongchang 2018, he narrowly missed out on a medal after finishing fourth.
Krotov made his world championships debut as a teenager.
But he enjoyed his greatest success at the 2021 event in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The star secured bronze in the solo aerials and gold in the mixed team aerials.
He also secured two individual World Cup wins at Canada 2012 and Moscow 2020.
Krotov is survived by his wife and their son.
Off to Russia to find new obituaries. Oh how fun.
“ As of April 2014, his best showing at the World Championships was 18th, in the 2011 aerials.[2]”
Yet this article states he was world champion.
The Clot in his brain expanded and finally burst.
Vaccine = Clot Shot.
I refuse to put Dr. in any reference to Quackony Fauxi.
(snicker) - lots of folks here will have to look up that name to understand that ...
Vaxxed and fully boosted ...
Give some examples of other skiers who died in their sleep from brain hemorrhages.
I only know who Jim Fixx is because that sort of thing wasn’t happening to healthy and athletic people on an almost weekly basis during the ‘80’s. It was so much of a shock that it *would* be remembered 40 years later.
Jim Fixx was 52 years old.
File me reaction under: Gobsmacked and not gaye
“Give some examples of other skiers who died in their sleep from brain hemorrhages.”
Sonny Bono and a few of the Kennedy dazed. Ski trees can be lethal even on the bunny slopes (though I never had a crash) (my parents set us free to sink or swim or crash on the upstate NY slopes)
Natasha crashed while skiing and suffered brain damage from it.
Is global warming y’all!!
I don’t want to say it was the vaxx but.........
And JFK now that you mention it, same thing.
Keeled over at age 52...... I remember him as saying he would eat anything he liked and burn it up running/ (not AI generated__)

Fixx was a member of the high-IQ club, Mensa,[3] and published three collections of puzzles: Games for the Super-Intelligent, More Games for the Super-Intelligent, and Solve It! The back flap of his first book says: “... He spent his time running on the roads and trails near his home, training for the Boston Marathon.”
Fixx started running in 1967 at age 35. He weighed 214 pounds (97 kg) and smoked two packs of cigarettes per day. Ten years later, when his book, The Complete Book of Running (which spent 11 weeks at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list) was published, he was 60 pounds (27 kg) lighter and smoke-free. In his books and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physical exercise and how it considerably increased the average life expectancy.
World champs, young coaches and former players, current players of that sport, etc.
We just aren't aware of these deaths because the sport isn't baseball, basketball, or football.
Former Redskins QB Sonny Jurgensen was asked many years ago if he was concerned that his notorious appetite for food and drink might affect his long-term health. Jurgensen famously replied, “All I know is that Richard Burton outlived Jimmy Fixx.” Jurgensen is 88.
Why does Fauci not have an arrest warrant out for him like Putin does?
Injustice prevails.
