Kurt Thomas, gymnast, dies at 64

Sad, sad news. I watched him over the years. My sympathies to all who loved him.

 

He died of a tear of the basilar artery in the brain stem, which caused him to have a severe stroke on May 24.

 

Unfortunately, he was unable to compete in the Olympics since the U.S. boycotted them in 1980.
