Tori Bowie’s career came to an abrupt end several years before her tragic death.
The track and field star passed away yesterday at the age of just 32 and the athletics world mourns the shocking news. The American won an Olympic gold medal as part of the 4x100m relay team in 2016, and a year later claimed the individual 100m gold medal at the 2017 World Championships to officially become the world's fastest woman.
But following the successful period in her career, things came to a halt when she arrived at the Elite Athlete Training Center in California in January 2019 to train for the season ahead. She was denied entry to the building and told she would only be allowed entry if she settled an allegedly outstanding $6,000 payment.
