Italian sportsman Mattia Debertolis dies after competing at World Games in China
International Orienteering Federation president Tom Hollowell said in a statement on Tuesday that he was 'not able to adequately describe in words the unfathomable depth of sadness in this tragic loss of life.'
World Games organizers had previously said that Debertolis, 29, fell unconscious while participating in a men's middle-distance event last Friday.
Debertolis was a member of the Italy team and had participated in several World Championships and World Cups. He placed fifth in the 2022 World Cup final relay.

Di Marzio – Inter Milan Offer €40M + Add-Ons For Roma & France Midfielder
Inter Milan have offered €40 million plus add-ons to Roma for midfielder Manu Kone. This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He reports, via FCInterNews, that the Nerazzurri have offered a similar amount to that which they bid for Ademola Lookman. The Nerazzurri reportedly see the France international as an ideal profile for the holding midfield position. Inter have no shortage of midfielders who can play in a more advanced role. However, midfielders like Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu are not as well-suited to playing in a double pivot. Di Marzio – Inter Bid €40M + Add-Ons For Manu Kone LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – AUGUST 09: Manu Kone of AS Roma during the pre-season friendly match between Everton and AS Roma at Hill Dickinson Stadium on August 09, 2025 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by) According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter have put a bid on the table for Kone. He reports that the Nerazzurri have offered €40 million plus add-ons. Not coincidentally, that is right amount the amount that Atalanta rejected for Ademola Lookman. Therefore, it looks as though Inter could be shifting their strategy and investing in central midfield rather than in attack. Di Marzio furthermore reports that Roma have yet to decide whether to green light a transfer for Kone. However, the Giallorossi could decide to cash in on the Frenchman in order to fund a signing in attack, he predicts.
