7 Athletes have died in their sport. The last Summer Olympic was a 1960 games cyclists who died of heat stroke. The most recent is the 2010 Winter Olympics Luge Crash during practise. 2 Skiers and 2 Lugers have died in crashes during practise during the Olympics.
Then the largest footnote is the 1972 11 member Israel Team in the Munich Massacre.
Yes it has happened before. The article says 6 maybe 7. Not sure how they got the maybe.
someone got hit by a bus in these games. also, there have been incidents like 1972.
Yeah a swimmer drowned before
Has any athletes ever had a freak accident or pushed to hard and died in Olympic history? How many?
