- Yesterday, I read an article in our daily newspaper that astonished me a bit.
- Here is the short essence :
-
- Under swedish orientieering runners (excuse me if its not the correct
- translation, we call them in german 'Orientierungs-La"ufer') of the
- national elite a number of mysterious heart attack deaths happened.
- Within the last three years 7 of them died, 6 of them under 30 years.
- That seems to be remarkable rate, even if one
- considers, that orienteering is quite popular in north european countries.
- The last of these deaths happened not long ago, while a sauna visit after a
- gentle training.
- Now a group of medicians is up to investigate these deaths, they consider a
- infection as a working hypothesis.
