In the Chinese context, people often use the idiom "die young" to express their regret for those who died unfortunately when they were young. In the world of sports with numerous events, there are too many athletes who died young, which has become an indelible memory pain for countless sports fans.

There is a saying in the world that as long as the thoughts are still there, the dead people have not completely disappeared in the world. Based on the factors of gender, events, year of death, influence, etc., the author will point out the top ten athletes who died young in this article to arouse everyone's memories of them.

X. Andrés Escobar (Football)

Football is the first sport in the world. Relatively speaking, football players are a huge group. There are many famous football players who died early because of air crashes, car accidents or illness accidents, so it is difficult to mention them one by one.

In this, the author thinks that Andrés Escobar, a former Colombian international, has to be mentioned. To some extent, the death of Escobar is a social-level issue, which has caused the fans to think about the nature of sports and criticize the extreme fanaticism or pollution of sports elements.

Back in the 1994 World Cup, as Colombia's starting defender, Escobar accidentally created an own goal against the United States, which indirectly led to the home team Colombia's exit. After returning home, Escobar was shot 12 times by extreme fans and died on the spot at the age of 27.

9. Maureen Connolly (Tennis)

Back in the 195s, Connolly won nine Grand Slam titles before she was 2 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 2, so he couldn't write more exaggerated myths about the stadium. However, the sad thing is that Connolly died of ovarian cancer at the age of 34 14 years after he had 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 from Canada. During her career, Sarah Burke won the Winter X Games World Championship five times and a semi-tube skateboarding event.

With the help of Burke's advocacy and lobbying, the semi-tube skateboard was able to enter the Winter Olympics. It can be said that Sarah Burke is a pioneer in skiing. Unfortunately, in the skiing training in 212, Burke was killed in an accident at the age of 29, and failed to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

VII. Kyle pantani (Bicycle)

Kyle pantani, a famous Italian cyclist, won the Tour de France in 1998. Before and after reaching the peak of the cycling world in 1998, pantani won the third place in the Tour de France twice and was once recognized as a master of climbing and sprinting.

At 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 he disappeared from the mainstream. On Valentine's Day in 24, pantani was found dead in a hotel in Rimini, Italy. The cause of death was hydrocephalus caused by taking too much 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 fans' regret, but also aroused people's doubts about the fairness of the sport and their antipathy to doping.

VI. Pani Stewart (Golf)

Back in the late 198s and early 199s, Pani Stewart was one of the most representative American stars, and once ranked among the top ten in the world for 25 weeks in a row. The iconic bloomers can be regarded as a great sight on the golf field.

In his short career, Stewart won 11 PGA Tour titles, including three Grand Slam competitions. Back to the end of 1999, Stewart died in an accident on the way to a private jet, at the age of 42. Before her unfortunate death, Pani Stewart won a total prize of $12.67 million in her career.

V. paul hunter (Snooker)

Back in the Welsh Open in 1996, at the age of 17 years and 3 months, paul hunter reached the final four, becoming the youngest player in the history of snooker to enter the final four, and becoming a hot super star in snooker events.

On the court, the golf technique is quite good, and the psychological quality of being good at playing against the wind is amazing. Besides, paul hunter has a cynical childe face and blond hair, and the private clubs he uses are all gold-colored. In addition, he has become a popular star in the project for a time, with numerous female powders, and people give him the nickname Beckham on the billiard table.

In his career, paul hunter ranked fourth in the world, and his masterpieces were the Snooker Masters in 21, 22 and 24. 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 1-9 to win the Masters three times.

It's a pity that paul hunter was diagnosed with a very rare neuroendocrine cancer, and then he died soon, five days before his 28th birthday.

IV. Flora Hyman (Volleyball)

In its heyday, Hyman, a female volleyball player from the United States, was hailed as "the first heavy gunner in women's volleyball", and was also called the three main attackers in the world with Lang Ping, Lang Ping and Mirea Luis. As the soul of the American women's volleyball team, Hyman led the team to win the runner-up in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Back in January 1986, Flora Hyman died suddenly while taking part in a competition in Japan. After autopsy, Flora Hyman was found to have Marfan's syndrome. In the field of sports, Marfan's syndrome has led to the premature death of many tall players, including Hyman, and is called the "giant killer".

third, Florence Griffith Joyner (track and field)

Cojna, an American female sprinter, was nicknamed Hua Hudie. Back in the 1988 Summer Olympics, Cojna handed over fast girls's performance that shocked the world.

In the 1m and 2m events, Cojna won the championship with absolute superiority. In the 4 1-meter relay event, Cojna also successfully helped the United States win the championship. How exaggerated is Cojna? The world record of women's 1m-2m created by her has been kept up to now.

Cojna shocked the sports world with her speed on the court, but the speed of her fall also made the sports world feel dejected. In September 1998, Cojna died of bizarre epilepsy at the age of 39.

Until now, the story of Griffith Cojna's death will still make many sports fans immediately think of steroids, stimulants and other related words. As to whether it is really relevant, I'm afraid only Hua Hudie, who is far away in the kingdom of heaven, knows.

Ayrton Senna (F1)

In F1 field, 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.

F1 is an extremely dangerous sport, especially in the field of stadium protection facilities and racing safety technology, which is far less developed than it was in the last century. Back in the 198s and early 199s, Ayrton Senna was in full swing, winning the F1 World Championship three times in 1988, 199 and 1991.

Back in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, Senna's car ran out of control and crashed into the fence during 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 fierce, his driving style is passionate, his driving route is full of imagination, and he has a strong temperament of integrating people and cars. In his gestures, Senna has satisfied all the imaginations of fans for talented drivers, and gained the love and yearning of countless fans.

1. Kobe Bryant (Basketball)

Back to January 26th, 22, 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 masters was fixed at the age of 41.

As an epoch-making global sports idol, Kobe's story has encouraged countless fans, and his personal influence has already gone far beyond basketball. At the time of his life, Kobe called his spirit "Mamba spirit".

Never give up, never give up, and bear the burden of humiliation is the core of Mamba spirit. Apart from cold figures and flashing honors, Mamba spirit is still inspiring the world. Isn't it a proof that Kobe still exists in the world?
