‘We cannot understand’: Sudden death of taekwondo champion, 19, branded a mystery
The shocked coach of a tragic taekwondo starlet who won European gold less than a month ago says there is no obvious cause of her death at the age of 19, with messages of support arriving from across Russia.
Perm University prodigy Arina Biktimirova is said to have suddenly died at home in the city where she studied on Monday, leaving her parents mourning their only child.
The news comes just weeks after Biktimirova became champion at the European Taekwon-Do ITF Championships in Crete.
“We cannot understand what could have happened to her health,” Biktimirova’s coach, Daniel Gorbunov, told KP.RU.
“Arina did not have any chronic diseases. Before each competition, athletes are not just checked, but literally ‘shine through’.
“Arina, when she was checked before going to the European Championship, was completely healthy. What has happened [has made] us too shocked.”
I have to say, THAT is one unhealthy-looking Taekwondo champion.
Arina looks like her name may have been Aaron previously. The death could have something to do with some other sort of change in her body status that the media usually hides.
But I report, you decide.
