U.S. Olympic medal-winning runners Tori Bowie, Calvin Davis die - ESPN

Former 100-meter world champion and three-time Olympic medalist Tori Bowie has died at the age of 32, her management company said Wednesday.

World Athletics, the sport's governing body, also announced Wednesday that Olympic medalist Calvin Davis had died at the age of 51.

Bowie won gold (4x100-meter relay), silver (100m) and bronze (200m) at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

«We're devastated to share the very sad news that Tori Bowie has passed away,» Icon Management said in a statement on Twitter. «We've lost a client, dear friend, daughter and sister. Tori was a champion… a beacon of light that shined so bright! We're truly heartbroken and our prayers are with the family and friends.»

After finishing second in the 100 meters in Rio, Bowie won the race at the world championships in London a year later, finishing less than a hundredth of a second ahead of the Ivory Coast's Marie-Josee Ta Lou.

Davis won bronze in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1996 Atlanta Games and was part of the U.S. team that won 4x400-meter relay gold at the 1995 World Indoor Championships in Barcelona.
