Tsudoi Miyazaki -- a Japanese triathlete and inspiring Olympian -- was tragically killed on Wednesday after she was struck by a car while training on her bike in France.
She was only 25.
The terrible incident happened near Orleans (almost two hours south of Paris) where Miyazaki was staying for a triathlon training camp at an overseas base, according to the Triathlon website.
Miyazaki was out riding on her bike for practice when she was hit by a car ... and sadly, she did not survive the accident.
