Tragedy as Tokyo Olympics sailor Eya Guezguez dies aged just 17 after boat sinks

An Olympic sailor was involved in a tragic accident while training at sea on Sunday.

Eya Guezguez, 17, was sailing with twin sister Sarra when their vessel capsized due to strong winds. Sadly, Eya was killed by the incident while her sibling survived.

Both sisters teamed up last summer to represent Tunisia at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, finishing in 21st place in the 49er FX event. Given their age, both were tipped to appear at more Olympic Games in the future.
