The retired Navy SEAL diver who tragically died while delivering supplies to the trapped soccer players is described as “the most decorated adventure racer in Thailand”.

Coincidentally, I saw this myself and posted on the AR Discussion Group page. I'm not familiar with any of the races he's done, and some may fall more into the category of obstacle races than true ARs. But clearly a badass guy who loved the outdoors.
I just read that they got all the kids and their coach out now!
They still have to get the rescuer SEALs and medics out.
