Yuri Ryazanov returned home to Russia after winning bronze in the AA at the world champs but very sadly died in a car crash this morning - from what I can make out he hadn't actually arrived home. This is very very sad news

Oh how awful for his family and friends To lose someone so young, at the peak of his career.

We really don't get to know when our time is up, do we?
