Ultramarathon runner who was searched for 8 hours dies in Odesa
The athlete died of a stroke.
Ukrainian runner Ekaterina Katyushcheva, who got lost during the Kuyalnik Ultra-Trail ultramarathon, died in hospital from a stroke. This was reported by Denys Sokolov, press secretary of the Odesa Regional State Administration, on his Facebook page.
"Unfortunately, 10 minutes ago Katya passed away. A stroke. Doctors at the regional hospital did everything they could. You understand yourself what 8 hours unconscious in the desert at nearly 40 degrees means," Sokolov wrote.
On June 14, the Ukrainian runner, who had gotten lost during the marathon, was found after an 8-hour search.
It turned out that the woman first suffered heatstroke and lost consciousness, and after it got dark, hypothermia.
Ekaterina Katyushcheva is a master of sports in athletics and a member of the Ukrainian national team in the 24-hour run, with a result of 201 km. She has repeatedly taken part in ultramarathons of 50–100 km. Katyushcheva is the winner of the "Iron Man-2019" competition among women and second overall.
Ukrainian Tetiana Hryneva ran a full 42.2-kilometre marathon around her home to raise 1 million hryvnias for protective equipment for doctors.
