Alex Pullin dead: World reacts to Aussie Winter Olympics star’s Gold Coast tragedy

Australia and the sporting world has been left devastated by the tragic death of Olympic hero Alex “Chumpy” Pullin.

The 32-year-old high-profile champion snowboarder died in a spearfishing tragedy on the Gold Coast today in a heartbreaking ordeal for his family, who are reported to have been on the sand at Palm Beach at the time.

Pullin, a two-time world champion, is reported to have been found unresponsive on the bottom of the ocean floor by a snorkeller before a lifeguard on shore was alerted by a group of local surfers.

He was dragged from the surf on the back of a lifeguard’s jet ski. After 45 minutes with paramedics on shore, he could not be revived.

The shocking circumstances of the star athlete’s death have left Aussie sporting commentators heart broken.

He was remembered for being a leader and popular member of the Aussie team — as much as he was for his incredible achievements on the slopes.

“This is so so awful. Chumpy Pullin was a great athlete but an even better person. Tragic,” Network 10 reporter Annie Kearner posted on Twitter.

Her devastation was shared by the entire Aussie sporting community.

Australian snowboarder and silver medallist at the 2018 Winter Olympics, Jarryd Hughes, tweeted: “Extremely shocked and saddened to hear the news of Chumpy’s passing. Chumpy was a huge part of the Australian Winter team and will be sorely missed. It was an honour to be teammates and have raced alongside you. Sending my condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. RIP.”

The Courier-Mail first reported Pullin drowned after suffering a shallow water blackout.

The City of Gold Coast released a statement confirming the circumstances of the star’s death.

“Lifeguards provided CPR to the man until the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) arrived and took over,” the statement claimed.

A Surf Lifesaving Queensland spokeswoman has also passed on the surf community’s condolences to the Pullin family.

“The volunteer lifesavers involved have been offered peer support counselling, and this support will continue for as long as needed.

“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends.”

One of the most popular Australians in the Winter Olympic teams of 2010, 2014 and 2018, the triple-Olympian was awarded the honour of being Australia’s flag-bearer for the opening ceremony for the Sochi Olympics in Russia.

Growing up in Mansfield, near the Victorian ski slopes of Mt Bulla, snow was in Pullin’s blood from an early age and he quickly became an elite-level athlete with the support of his parents.

Entering the Sochi Games as the snowboard cross world champion, Pullin was the face of Australia’s team for the 2014 event, but was cruelly knocked out in the quarter-finals of the famously chaotic sport.
