They've got the heart
In November 2007, Ryan Shay collapsed after only 5 1/2 miles of the US Olympic marathon trials. In July 2012, former Stanford University basketball player Pete Sauer collapsed while playing a friendly game in his adult recreational league. In October 2012, the BYU swim team went up against the University of Hawaii when Hawaii swimmer 'Peter' Frank Chi was found unresponsive in his dorm room post-meet. Chi was a rare case who knew about his heart condition and took precautions but still died as a result of his heart condition.
