Former German athlete champion Alexander Lubina has been found dead in Mallorca, aged 42.
According to the Spanish Guardia Civil, a storm caused high waves which threw the runner into the rocks in Cala Serena. Divers later recovered his body from the cave overnight on Thursday.
Lubina, who won the 10,000 metres at the 2002 German Championships, had reportedly held training sessions for local runners this week before his tragic accident. His running club, TV Wattenscheid 01, have since paid tribute.
