Here are 1 famous musicians from Georgia died at 21:
Nodar Kumaritashvili
Nodar Kumaritashvili (November 25, 1988 Borjomi-February 12, 2010 Whistler) was a Georgian luger.
Nodar Kumaritashvili began his career in luge at a young age and quickly made a name for himself in the sport. He competed in numerous international competitions and was well-respected by his teammates and competitors alike.
Tragically, during a practice run at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler, Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control of his sled and crashed into a metal pole at a speed of nearly 90 miles per hour. Despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following his death, the International Luge Federation made changes to the course to increase safety measures, but the loss of Kumaritashvili remains a devastating reminder of the dangers of high-speed sports.
Despite his untimely death, Nodar Kumaritashvili's legacy lives on in the sport he loved. He was posthumously awarded the title of Master of Sport in Luge by the Georgian government, and the Nodar Kumaritashvili Sports School was established in his hometown of Bakuriani in his honor. Additionally, every year the International Luge Federation hosts the Nodar Kumaritashvili Cup, a competition in memory of the late luger.
He died in track crash.
