Judo champion dies after fall
Athens - Eleni Ioannou, a member of the Greek Olympic judo team who was hospitalised in critical condition after falling from her third-floor apartment balcony more than two weeks ago, died on Tuesday. She was 20.
The Red Cross hospital said Ioannou died in the intensive care unit where she had been hospitalised since August 7 with multiple fractures to her head and body.
Ioannou, a competitor in the 78kg-plus event, fell from the balcony after an argument with her boyfriend, 24-year-old Giorgos Chrisostomides.
He jumped from the same balcony two days later and remains hospitalised in critical condition at Athens' Evangelismos hospital.
