Olympian Laura Dahlmeier Dead at 31 After Climbing Accident | E! News

Olympian Laura Dalmire has died. Laura Dalmire, who earned gold in bathlon at the 2014 and 2018 Olympics for team Germany, died after she was caught in a rockfall in the Kakorum mountains of Pakistan on July 28th. Her management team confirmed she was 31. The July 30th Instagram post translated from German began. Laura Delmier and her climbing partner were descending from the summit of Leila Peak during a raple maneuver at approximately 5,700 meters. Laura Delmire was struck by falling rocks. Her uninjured climbing partner immediately called emergency services and a rescue operation was initiated. The statement continued, “Attempts to rescue her by her climbing partner were made for many hours, but the difficulty of the terrain and the ongoing rockfall made it impossible. The remote location meant a rescue helicopter couldn’t reach the scene until the next morning, which is when Doll Meer, a certified mountaineer and ski guide, was spotted by rescuers.” Her team explained, “Due to technical and rescue limitations of the helicopter, an aerial rescue could not be carried out. A ground rescue was also not possible due to the ongoing risk of rockfall and the objective hazards at the accident site.” Based on the visuals and her partner’s description of the injuries, officials determined that Delmier’s death was immediate. Her body was left at the scene of the accident. The statement continued, “Recovering the body is too risky for the rescue workers under the current difficult conditions on Leila Peak, including rockfall and a sudden change in the weather. It was Laura Dalmire’s express and written wish that in a case like this, no one should risk their life to recover her. The notice continued, “Her wish was to leave her body on the mountain.” In this case, this is also in the interest of her relatives, who also expressly requests that Laura’s final wishes be respected. Doll Meer had been in the area with her friends since June and had already climbed the great Trango Tower before taking on Leila Peak. Delmier’s team reflected on the athletes warm and straightforward manner. They added, “Laura Delmare enriched our lives and the lives of many others. She showed us that it’s worth standing up for your dreams and goals and always staying true to yourself. We are deeply grateful, dear Laura, that we were allowed to share in your life. [Music]
