Today at training we learnt of the terrible news that Hungarian canoeist Gyorgy Kolonics died in training preparing for what would have been his fifth Olympic Games. Gyorgy was a double Olympic Champion.
I didnt know him personally but I know myself and others in the New Zealand team were shocked and saddened by the news.
On behalf of the New Zealand team I pass on our deepest sympathy to family, friends and teammates of Gyorgy.
