Mancavano solo 500 metri al bersaglio, poi la tragedia.

A 25-year-old South Korean runner named Yoo Ji-won died after collapsing during a half-marathon in Seoul on October 11. She was approximately 500 meters away from the finish line when she lost consciousness near the 20.6-kilometer mark. Emergency medical personnel immediately rushed to her aid and transported her to the hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. The incident occurred during the Seoul Race event, which organizers confirmed in a statement released on October 12. They expressed deep condolences to Yoo’s family and pledged to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. The official cause of death has yet to be determined, and further actions will be taken based on the findings of the investigation. Yoo was a successful amateur athlete who frequently shared training updates and race highlights on social media. Earlier this year, she completed the Seoul Marathon in two hours, 56 minutes, and 32 seconds. In March, she won the women's masters category at a 10-kilometer event within the Gunsan Saemangeum marathon. Additionally, she was a graduate student at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), researching semiconductors for artificial intelligence. Separately, an 18-year-old girl named Anja died on August 26, 2017, during a school trip to the island of Krk. According to prosecutors, she had sought help from a 31-year-old dermatology specialist, Klara Cvenkel, the day before her death. Anja’s classmates believe Cvenkel did not recognize the severity of the situation at the time. Cvenkel denied negligence, stating she was merely a third-year medical student.
