The start of the Olympic Games in Paris has been overshadowed by the tragic news of the passing of Lulu Conner, the sister-in-law of water polo athlete Maggie Steffens. Lulu, who was married to Bobby Conner, Maggie’s brother, was a vibrant and joyful person who brought happiness to everyone around her. The details surrounding her death are unclear at the moment, but Maggie has shared that Lulu was incredibly excited to watch the team compete in Paris.
Maggie, deeply saddened by the loss of her beloved sister-in-law, is determined to honor Lulu’s spirit and embody her enthusiasm throughout the games. As a tribute, she threw flowers into the River Seine during the opening ceremony, symbolizing Lulu’s presence and the impact she had on their lives. While NBC announced the bereavement, no further information has been provided.
Maggie’s grief has affected her, her husband, and their entire family deeply. She finds comfort in the unwavering support of her team, who have become a source of strength during this challenging time. “It’s going to be a tough couple of weeks for all of us,” she expressed. Despite the overwhelming sadness, Maggie draws solace from the idea that Lulu’s spirit is present in Paris, and she strives to make her proud every day.
Adam Krikorian, the coach of Team USA, also shared his shock and sorrow upon hearing the tragic news. He spoke about Lulu’s infectious energy and excitement for watching the team compete, emphasizing the importance of honoring her memory. Adam, who experienced his own devastating loss when his brother passed away in 2016, empathizes with Maggie’s pain and offers her his love and support.
Both Maggie and Adam understand the rollercoaster of emotions that accompany unexpected loss. Adam believes it is crucial for Maggie to receive love and support during this difficult time and have the freedom to be with Bobby and their family. Together, they hope to find strength in the memories of Lulu and carry her spirit with them as they compete.
The Olympic Games in Paris may have begun with a cloud of sadness, but the athletes’ resilience shines through as they compete, knowing that their biggest fans are cheering them on from above. The spirit of Lulu Conner will undoubtedly inspire and motivate these athletes to give their all, despite the heavy hearts they carry.
