Former pole vaulter Tim Lobinger has passed away. At the age of 50, the former Olympic champion athlete went away from terrible cancer. His kin informed a German news site on Thursday night that he had passed away. Reports from Rheinische Post and RTL were previously available.
Lobinger “died on February 16 in Munich; he fell asleep gently in a tiny circle, he did not lose the battle, but won in his own manner,” according to a statement. In March 2017, leukemia was initially identified in Lobinger; however, an experimental kind of therapy eventually proved ineffective.
In the 1990s, Lobinger participated at the top level in the pole vault sport. His two best efforts, in which he cleared 6.00 meters, were in 1997 and 1999. His biggest accomplishments were silver medals from the European Athletics Championships in 1998 and 2006. He won bronze at the European Athletics Championships in 2002 and the IAAF World Indoor Championships in 2006.
