Swedish trail runner Emilia Brangefalt dies by sui.cide

Swedish trail runner Emilia Brangefalt has passed away at the age of 21.

She took her own life.

The talented long-distance athlete won bronze in 2022’s Trail World Championships 40km race in Chiang Mai, and this year came fifth in a world championship race in Innsbruck but was forced to take an extended break from the sport after being diagnosed with an extremely high heart rate.

In a post shared to her Instagram account on November 4, Brangefalt detailed the difficulties she had been suffering both physically and mentally after being forced to take time away from the sport.

‘Just taking a walk is painful right now,’ Brangefalt wrote. ‘Have been to the hospital and visit the medical over 20 times but every single blood test/ ekg/ cycle test is good. Still my body is super stressed although I have given it so much love the past months’.

‘Maybe it was to much for a 21 year old girl to run Transvulcania 48k and WMTRC 45k with less then one month in between. I am super sad because running and training means so much’, the athlete added.

‘But now, just living a normal life is difficult. I have spent more hours in bed than on my feet this past month. Maybe one day I will be back. Or I won’t. I hope my body can recover from this.’

On Wednesday evening, the Swedish Athletics Federation confirmed that Brangefalt had died by suicide earlier this month.
