Eighteen-year-old kite foiler Jackson James Rice has tragically died just weeks before the Paris Games, which would have been his Olympic debut. The American-born athlete grew up in Tonga, and was set to be the first white athlete to represent the country, but he passed away after a suspected shallow water blackout.
