Alot of people are born with small or large heart defects but never find out about it ever because most humans are lazy bastards, Athletes push the boundaries in terms of cardio and there heart.

I know it's only been a few cases over the last year, but is anyone aware of this happening in other sports like this?

Happens fairly often in other sports, maybe not the pro level as much but almost every month you hear about a high school basketball, soccer, or football player dying of a heart condition, many times on the field/court or right after a game.


It's likely most of them had pre existing conditions they were unaware of and ended up pushing themselves too far.
