There is a saying in the world that as long as the thoughts are still there, the dead people will not completely disappear in the world. Based on gender, events, year of death, influence and other factors. In this paper, the author will point out the top ten athletes who died young in order to arouse everyone's common memory of them.
X. Andrés Escobar (Football)
Football is the first sport in the world. Relatively speaking, football players are a huge group. Many famous football players died early because of air crashes, car accidents or illness accidents. It's hard to mention them all.
Among them, I think we have to advance Colombian international Andrés Escobar. To some extent, Escobar's death is a social problem, which has aroused fans' thinking about the nature of sports and criticized the extreme fanaticism or pollution of sports elements.
Back in the 1994 World Cup, as Colombia's starting defender, Escobar inadvertently created an own goal against the United States, which indirectly led to the home team Colombia's exit. After returning to China, Escobar was shot by extreme fans 12 times and died on the spot at the age of 27.
Maureen Connolly (Tennis)
Back in 1950s, Connolly won nine Grand Slam titles when she was less than 20 years old, and her strength index can be regarded as the first female superstar & talented player in modern tennis history.
Because he injured his right leg while riding, Connolly chose to retire at the age of 20, so he could not write more exaggerated myths about the stadium. Sadly, however, Connolly died of ovarian cancer in 14 at the age of 34 after having to leave early because of an accident. One year before Connolly's death, WTA held a ceremony for her to enter the Hall of Fame, which was also the greatest respect for Maureen Connolly.
Sarah Burke (skiing)
Sarah Burke is a famous freestyle skier in Canada. During her career, Sarah Burke won five world championships in the Winter Extreme Games and a semi-tube skateboarding competition.
Under Burke's advocacy and lobbying, the half-tube skateboard was able to enter the Winter Olympics. It can be said that Sarah Burke is a pioneer in skiing. Unfortunately, during the 20 12 skiing training, 29-year-old Burke died unexpectedly and failed to win a gold medal in Sochi Winter Olympics.
Seven, Kyle pantani (bike)
The famous Italian cyclist Kyle pantani won the Tour de France with 1998. Before and after 1998 reached the peak of the cycling world, pantani won the third place in the Tour de France twice, and was once recognized as a master of climbing and sprinting.
1At the end of 1999, pantani was found to have taken stimulants, so he was banned for a long time and lost his reputation, and then disappeared from the mainstream. On Valentine's Day in 2004, pantani was found dead in a hotel in Rimini. The cause of death was hydrocephalus caused by overdose of cocaine. It is worth mentioning that in the hotel room, people found a note that said "I am a victim". It can be said that pantani's death not only aroused the fans' regret, but also aroused people's doubts about the fairness of the sport and their antipathy to doping.
6. Penny Stewart (Golf)
As early as the late 1980s and early 1990s, Pani Stewart was one of the most representative American stars, and once ranked among the top ten in the world for 250 consecutive weeks. The iconic bloomers are a great sight on the golf course.
During his short career, Stewart won 1 1 PGA Tour titles, including three Grand Slam competitions. Back to the end of 1999, Stewart died unexpectedly on the way to participate in the competition on a private jet at the age of 42. Before her unfortunate death, Pani Stewart won a total of $654.38 and ￡ 026,700 in her career.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) paul hunter (snooker)
Back to the Welsh Open in196, paul hunter, who was 17 years and 3 months old, reached the semi-finals, becoming the youngest player in the history of snooker to reach the semi-finals, and becoming a hot superstar in snooker.
The par on the court is quite good, and the psychological quality of being good at playing against the wind is amazing. Paul hunter has a cynical childe face, blond hair, and a golden private club. He is brilliant. At that time, he became a popular star in the project, and there were countless female powders. People nicknamed him Beckham on the pool table.
Paul hunter ranks fourth in the world in his career, and his masterpieces are the 200 1, the 2002 and 2004 snooker masters. In the three Masters, paul hunter won the championship with a big score far behind, and defeated O 'Brien, Williams and O 'Sullivan with the same score of 10-9 three times.
Unfortunately, paul hunter was diagnosed with a very rare neuroendocrine cancer and died soon after, just five days before his 28th birthday.
Flora Hyman (Volleyball)
In its heyday, Hyman, a female volleyball player from the United States, was known as "the first heavy gunner of women's volleyball", and was also known as the three main attackers of women's volleyball in the world with Lang Ping, Lang Ping and Mireya luis. As the soul of American women's volleyball team, Hyman once led the team to win the second place in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Back in 1986 65438+ 10, Flora Hyman died suddenly while competing in Japan. After autopsy, Flora Hyman was found to have Marfan syndrome. In the field of sports, Marfan syndrome led to the premature death of many tall players, including Hyman, and was called the "giant killer".
Third, Florence Griffith Jouner (track and field)
Koina, a famous American female sprinter, was nicknamed Hua. Back to the 1988 Summer Olympic Games, Koina handed over the fast women's performance that shocked the world.
In the 100 m and 200 m events, Koina won the championship with absolute advantage. In the 4 100m relay race, Kojna also successfully helped the United States win the championship. How exaggerated is Cojna? Her world record of women's 100-200m has never been broken.
Koina shocked the sports world with the speed on the court, but the speed at which she fell also made the sports world feel dejected. 1September 1998, Koina died of bizarre epilepsy at the age of 39.
Until now, the story of Griffith Koina's death still reminds many sports fans of steroids, stimulants and other related words immediately. As for whether it is really related, I am afraid that only Hua, who is far away in heaven, knows.
Two. Ayrton senna (F 1)
In the field of F 1, the title of car king belongs to legendary German driver michael schumacher, while the throne of car god belongs to legendary Brazilian driver Bruno Senna.
F 1 is an extremely dangerous sport, especially in the field of stadium protection facilities and racing safety technology, which is far less developed than in the last century. Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, ayrton senna was in full swing, winning the world championship of F 1988, 1990 and 199 1 successively.
Back to 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Senna's car lost control and crashed into the guardrail on the seventh lap because of the broken steering column. In the accident, Senna was hit in the head by flying suspension system accessories, and then died at the age of 34.
As a legendary driver, Senna's operation is extremely intense, his driving style is passionate, his driving route is full of imagination, and he has a strong temperament of integration of people and vehicles. With all his gestures, Senna has satisfied all fans' imaginations of talented drivers, and gained the love of countless fans and the yearning that continues to this day.
I. Kobe Bryant (Basketball)
Back in 2020, on June 26th, 65438, Kobe Bryant and his second daughter's private helicopter crashed on the way from Orange County to Los Angeles. All nine people on board were killed, and the life of a generation of basketball giants was fixed at 4 1 year.
As an epoch-making global sports idol, Kobe's story has inspired countless fans, and his personal influence has already gone far beyond the basketball level. At the time of his life, Kobe called his spirit "Mamba spirit".
Never give up, never give up and bear the burden of humiliation are the core of Mamba spirit. In addition to the cold numbers and shining honors, Mamba spirit still inspires the world. Isn't it a proof that Kobe still exists in the world?
