Due to heavy winds, Eya Guezguez, 17, and her twin sister Sarra were sailing when their yacht overturned. Unfortunately, Eya died due to the tragedy, although her sister survived. Last summer, the two sisters paired up to represent Tunisia at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, placing 21st in the 49er FX event. Given their ages, both were expected to compete in future Olympic Games.
The Daily Mail broke the news of her death when Tunisian journalist Souhail Khmira tweeted: ‘Eya Guezguez, Tunisian Olympic Windsurfer, passed tragically today after an accident during practise.’ “May she find peace.”
Sister of Eya is also a Tokyo player suffering from a tragic attack:
Her sister, competing in the Tokyo 2020 Games sailing competition with her last summer, escaped the terrible catastrophe. After coming to Tokyo as their country’s youngest competitor, the Guezguez sisters finished 21st in the 49er FX event. Still, they had high expectations of competing in the future Olympic Games and improving on their first result. Tunisian journalist Souhail Khmira was the first to announce her death, tweeting: ‘Eya Guezguez, Tunisian Olympic Windsurfer, went dead today following an accident at practice.’ Let her soul rest in peace.
People greet and show their love and affection towards her:
The EttachkilaTN account posted the following: “Our sailing champion Eya Guezguez, who was just 16 years old, perished today in an accident while preparing for the national team. We express our condolences to the deceased’s family and friends. My buddy, may you rest in peace. “Yarhamha to Allah,” says the narrator. “Because we go to the same high school, it was quite difficult for me to process the news,” Yoonpiter explained. “I can’t believe we gave her and her twin an award at an event I attended before the holidays; I don’t know her very well, but the thought of being her friend entered my mind.”
‘Our heartfelt sympathies go out to her family and loved ones.’ ‘Eya Guezguez died following an accident while preparing for the national sailing squad,’ stated La Pelota designer Zied Jendoubi. Eya was in Tokyo 2021 alongside her twin sister, the youngest Olympian.’ Since the tragic news surfaced, tributes to the champion have flooded social media. ‘What sad news… Eya, your death was a knife that cut our hearts,’ one of her pals wrote. Greetings, buddy Rest in peace, my friend. ‘You’ll be with us at all times!’
