Team USA water polo star Maggie Steffen suffered a loss ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics after a beloved family member made the trip to Paris, suffered a “medical emergency,” and died.
The Olympic water polo star’s sister-in-law, 26-year-old Lulu Conner, died on July 23 after traveling to cheer on Steffen ahead of the Paris Olympics, the Associated Press reported.
“She [Conner] was so excited for the Olympic Games,” Steffen said. “We’re really close. She’s the light of the world. She just brings so much joy to everyone. She always brings people together.”
Maggie, who’s participating in her fourth Olympics at Paris, said she’s been trying to focus on the games but knows it’s going to be really hard for their family going forward.
