We need to stop being this stupid. Translating from a German article that cites Wikipedia, and the article linked here doesn’t even say how many out of the 75 are dead. It just says “many of them” have died. OK, how many? Out of what sample size? How many thousands of athletes across how many sports?
It’s estimated that somewhere around one in every 40,000 athletes die of sudden cardiac arrest every year. One in 10,000 become seriously ill. Tennis, snow boarding, soccer, football, basketball, on and on.
So exactly how many “athletes” are there in this sample size, only in “Europe”, so we can gauge if this is a higher number than usual?
Numbers without context are meaningless.
