    So many missed.
    1. The massacre at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
    2. USA Gymastics abuse of athletes.
    3. The Georgian luger who died during a practice run at the 2010 Vancouver games.
    Just to name a few...

      Yeah, I'd put those in instead of the backflip skater. I mean I hadn't even heard of it. The massacre happened live on TV and was clearly worsened by being on TV; the gymnastics abuse has hurt a lot of athletes and will stain the sport for years (my opinion); anyone who dies at the Olympics should overshadow doping and relocating people. Those are things that come with the Olympics and should be quashed; every year there are rumours of doping and every year a city goes so nuts at the prestige of hosting that they consistently brush their problems under the rug.

      ​World champion and 17 other world class gymnasts fell / got injured on the vault. Then the Australian gymnast (the games are in Sydney Australia) noticed the vault was set two inches lower than it should have been. The gymnasts were offered a retry but most didn't take it, as they had either already caved to the increased stress of a totally failed vault and had poor performances on the other events, or because they had been injured. It basically removed half of the gymnasts from competition, including the then best in the world.
