UPDATE 3-Swimming-Norwegian world champion Dale Oen dead at 26
18.05.12
Ola Ronsen, doctor to Norway's elite Olympians, was quickly
on the scene and an ambulance arrived shortly afterwards, but
despite their best efforts to revive him Dale Oen was pronounced
dead at 2100 local time.
"This is incredibly sad and tragic," Ronsen said. "As a
doctor, it is painful experience not to succeed with
resuscitation.
"Everything was done according to procedure, and everything
was tried, so it's infinitely sad that we were unable to revive
him."
Born in Oygarden in south-western Norway, Dale Oen's career
was ground-breaking for Norwegian swimming, and his bronze medal
at the 2006 short course championships was the first for a
Norwegian man in a world event.
He also won his country's first Olympic swimming medal when
he took silver in the 100m breaststroke in Beijing in 2008 but
it was at the 2011 world championships that he became a real
national hero to the Norwegian people.
As he prepared for the 100m breaststroke competition in
Shanghai, Norway was thrown into shock by the massacre of 77
people and Dale Oen struggled with his emotions in the
aftermath, touching the Norwegian flag on his swimming cap every
time he entered the pool deck.
