Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya, who represented Australia at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, has died aged 20 after falling out of the window in Moscow, her coach said on Saturday. There was no immediate comment from Russian law enforcement agencies but Alexandrovskaya's coach Andrei Khekalo told AFP the young woman had fallen from a sixth-floor window in central Moscow.

Russian media said she had left a note reading "Lyublyu (I love)", suggesting it could have been a suicide. Khekalo said Alexandrovskaya missed a training session in January and was afterwards diagnosed with epilepsy and quit the sport. Even before she was diagnosed with epilepsy she suffered from depression, he added. "I tried to get her to stay in sport at my own peril," Khekalo said.
