Pavle Jovanovic, who competed in the 2006 Turin Olympics on the United States two-man and four-man bobsled teams, died by suicide at the age of 43.
Steven Mesler, Jovanovic's former teammate, wrote the following on Instagram in part Saturday (h/t Chros McDougall of Team USA):
"Pav, I can't believe another one of these needs to be written. I can't believe it's you I'm writing this about.
"My personal legend – the athlete that set the standard for focus, dedication, meticulousness, and drive – tragically took his own life at the age of 43.
