In depth

Australian jockey Izzy Neil, 22, fell from her horse during a race held on Sunday earlier this week in New South Wales. The fall occurred about 400 meters before the finish line, together with another rider who was involved in the incident.

Neil was airlifted by helicopter in critical condition, and her death was pronounced at the hospital. Neil was considered one of the most talented athletes in the field.

Her family said: "Izzy was riding horses before she could even walk. The world is poorer with the loss of a wonderful young woman. Heartbreaking". The family decided to donate her organs.
