O sportivă de 24 a murit după ce s-a prăbușit în timpul Maratonului din New York

A 24-year-old athlete, Rachel Apa, collapsed and died during the New York Marathon, reportedly due to rhabdomyolysis. She was a former field hockey player at Bucknell University and was running to raise funds for Parkinson's disease research in honor of her grandfather. Despite attempts at CPR by bystanders, she could not be revived. The New York Road Runners expressed condolences to her family and friends. Deaths during marathons are rare, with approximately one occurring for every 500,000 runners, often linked to cardiac events. Apa's case highlights the risks associated with extreme physical exertion.
