US Olympic Cyclist Kelly Catlin Dead at 23

note of caution when reviewing medical studies.

you want ten quality studies.

realize there are vast quantities of so called doctors that delve into fields they're not really qualified, especially sports.

you get crazy stuff, like man can't run the 4 minute mile, from back in the day, and its impossible to throw a curve ball, it's an optical illusion.

these days the worst papers generally come out of UK, Aust, Canada, US, particularly if they are backed by big pharms.

where they work under a preconceived objective, and adhere to political correctness, to outright cherry picking of data.

the best papers come from independent phd nerds from elsewhere, japan, russia, china,

by far the best info comes from pro sports doctors that have dealt directly in their field, treated hundreds of people,

and have results. these people are pretty much off the grid and the demand is so great, they will be hard to see.

forget completely your local GP, if you are working with one, or even a so called specialist, just read wiki, and they are probably just going from script, script that is most likely primitive and pharmaceutical driven.

Sad. Another statistic:

It's not difficult to comprehend why someone might kill themselves. Finding it difficult is a sign of a lack of imagination.

The prospect of oblivion can be a horrifying concept; actual oblivious is nothing. Think about how you felt before you were born. Yeah, it's like that. Maybe. #simulationargument

Rest in Peace...............Condolences to the family.

A twist in the story is that apparently she suffered a bad concussion in a crash a few weeks before and was not herself after that. Not only is this extremely sad, but downright scary.

One reason why runners shouldn't cross train with cycling or downhill skiing, but rather with swimming and in the gym. Injury risk is MUCH lower.

The only (non-overuse) risks with running are tripping on trails, and being bitten by dogs with bad owners. These too can be career-ending tho, if you fall unlucky at high speed (or downhill) or if it's a strong dog, like rottweiler, pit bull, shepherd etc..

For the most part, you decide on the risks you take when pusuing these sports. Their inherent risk is acceptable for most reasonable people, though you can always make them more dangerous by going faster in steeper, more remote areas.

Can someone find a study between suicide and that haircut?

1) If you're implying she could have run at the same level as cycling, no.

2) Some have said it was her 1000 mph your schedule, cycling and Stanford graduate school.

3) Most or many have said it is solely due to concussion. As a TBI patient, concussion seems like a benign coach term to get an athlete back out participating. No doctor, no nurse referred to my injuries as concussion.

That schedule she was maintaining was a heck of a schedule for someone with a recent TBI.

As far as your first point goes, I was not implying what you wrote and nobody would have thought I was unless they do not think very well. As I understand it, Kelly ran a lot but soccer had been her main sport before she took up cycling. That is all that was intended, and there was no implication either way regarding running ability, which of course seems like a strange point for you to bring up under the circumstances.

Lesbians have a higher risk of suicide, so, yes.

So do Islamic terrorists. Whatever Mo.

Why did you bring up running if no posters are to comment on her running?

Comment on her running all you want. I am just not sure why you would say “if you are I implying........” when there was ZERO implication of such.
