-- Posted by GaelicFreak at 4:11 pm on July 28, 2008 The Empire State Games are going on now, an a swimmer who was in his 70s died during a race. It was distance, and he had a heart attack. With all this hype going on, it's sad that one of the competitors died. -- Posted by silverbullets at 4:14 pm on July 28, 2008 yeah. thats sad. i like the empire state winter games best tho. i think my cousin is in the swimming competittion of the empire games.
