FORMER Italy Olympic silver medalist Vigor Bovolenta has died after suffering a heart attack during a fourth-tier match, the Italian volleyball federation said yesterday. Bovolenta, who was about to turn 38 in May, collapsed on the court during Volley Forli's visit to Lube Macerata on Saturday.
Bovolenta, father of four, was part of the Italy team that won silver at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta after a 2-3 loss to Netherlands in the final. Heart problems in sport have come into focus of late after Bolton Wanderers soccer player Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest during an English FA Cup match last weekend. He has made a remarkable recovery and is now in intensive care.
