US Olympics cycling medalist Kelly Catlin dies at 23
Washington - Kelly Catlin, a member of the US women's pursuit team that won a silver medal during the 2016 Olympic Games, died Thursday night at age 23. Her death left her father describing "unbelievable" pain and her sister saying, "I want the world to know there was a human being underneath that hard shell."
A graduate student at Stanford, Catlin was pursuing a degree in computational and mathematical engineering while training for track cycling as a member of the national team and racing as a professional road cyclist. She also excelled at the violin and as an artist. "I always saw myself as the planner and she was the doer," he said in a telephone interview. "I could always see the three of us taking over the world. We were a massive ball of energy, and we supported each other in everything."
After that incident, Kelly Catlin's family focused on her recovery, and she convinced them she was getting better, according to her siblings. In a recent VeloNews blog post on how she managed three intense pursuits, Catlin had written that she sometimes felt as if she needed "to time-travel to get everything done. And things still slip through the cracks.
