Lirchenfeld Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Gino Mäder, 26. Swiss pro cyclist has dying following injuries from a crash yesterday during Tour de Suisse. "It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we have to announce the passing of Gino Mäder. On Friday 16th June, following a very serious crash during stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse, Gino lost his battle to recover from the severe injuries he sustained. Our entire team is devastated by this tragic accident, and our thoughts and prayers are with Gino’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Following the high-speed incident which occurred on the final descent of Thursday’s stage, the 26 year old was resuscitated at the scene by medical staff who also performed CPR, before being airlifted to hospital. Despite the best efforts of the phenomenal staff at Chur hospital, Gino couldn’t make it through this, his final and biggest challenge, and at 11:30am we said goodbye to one of the shining lights of our team. Gino was an extraordinary athlete, an example of determination, a valued member of our team and the whole cycling community. His talent, dedication, and passion for the sport has inspired us all. Managing Director Milan Erzen commented this morning:” “We are devastated by the loss of our exceptional cyclist, Gino Mäder. His talent, dedication, and enthusiasm were an inspiration to us all. Not only was he an extremely talented cyclist, but a great person off the bike. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time. Bahrain Victorious will race in his honour, keeping his memory on every road we race. We are determined to show the spirit and passion Gino displayed, and he will always remain an integral part of our team.” Gino’s family has requested privacy as they mourn their loss, and we kindly ask that their wishes be respected. The team and family express our gratitude for the overwhelming support we have received from the whole cycling world. Gino, thank you for the light, the joy, and the laughs you brought us all, we will miss you as a rider and as a person. Today and every day, we ride for you, Gino."

forcebwithu Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Big respect for this guy for handling the politics and egos involved in the successful mission to rescue the children from the cave. RIP ‘Wild Boars’ governor Narongsak dies of cancer Career civil servant won worldwide praise for calm leadership during dramatic cave rescue Narongsak Osotthanakorn, the former Chiang Rai governor who won worldwide praise for his leadership of the mission to rescue the “Wild Boars” football team from the Tham Luang cave in 2018, has died of cancer at the age of 58. Narongsakak, who served most recently as governor of Pathum Thani, passed away peacefully at 5.40pm on Wednesday at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, where he was being treated. A career civil servant, Narongsak was known for a scrupulous and no-nonsense approach that sometimes got him in trouble with his bosses at the Interior Ministry. In his 15 months as governor of Chiang Rai, he refused to sign off on some controversial projects billed as economic stimulus as he suspected irregularities. A transfer from Chiang Rai to Phayao — believed by many to be a demotion — was already in the works when fate intervened, in the form of a boys’ football team that had become trapped in a flooded cave on June 23, 2018. As the rescue effort got under way and began to attract experts from many countries — along with hordes of reporters — it became clear that a steady hand would be needed to coordinate all the moving parts. Narongsak rose to the occasion, and the Interior Ministry agreed to delay his transfer until the mission to bring the 13 people out of the cave was complete. At the launch of the rescue mission, Narongsak declared that any officials who felt daunted by the tough rescue task ahead could go home. “Anyone who cannot make enough sacrifices can go home and stay with their families,” he said. “You can sign out and leave straight away. I will not report any of you. For those who want to work, you must be ready any second. Just think of them as our own children.” Reflecting a year later on the success of the mission, Narongsak proposed that an anniversary event should be held each year to keep the memory alive. “I wish to see an anniversary every year at Tham Luang Cave to remember what we achieved. I want to remember the 18 days in which everyone displayed the power of cooperation,” he said. When the Asia Society decided to give its Asia Game Changer Award to “The Rescue Team at the Tham Luang Caves”, it invited Narongsak to New York to accept it. He said he hoped the rescue would lead to more people doing good deeds in the future. “The mission (was conducted without regard) for race or nationality, and it united humanity as a whole,” he told his audience. “With over 10,000 people involved, even if one function was missing, we would not have been able to do it. “I wish the entire incident would inspire everyone to start living for others. This small change could be a game changer for the world.” More recently, Narongsak was being courted to consider a bigger stage after successful stints as a governor in Phayao, Lampang and Pathum Thani. The ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) was reported to have expressed interest in making him its candidate in the Bangkok governor election. He politely declined. “I’d rather take care of folks in the provinces,” he said. Narongsak is the second person associated with the Wild Boars drama to pass away recently. Duangphet “Dom” Phromthep, 17, the captain of the football team, died in at the Brooke House College Football Academy in Leicester, England. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
