The study was published in 2016 and was the first search result you found, so no real depth of research. You are correct in that yes, cardiac events are a thing, always have been a thing and that have been an interest of study for decades, statistically there will always have been instances of cardiac deaths in athletes. I didn't see any statistics on more recent years and don't know if there has been an increase. But if there were, could it not be related to lockdowns affecting people's health, wellbeing and diet?

I was already aware of iron man athletes having sudden cardiac death. I was merely finding a scholarly article taking about it, as the OP seemed to imply that it happening to athletes is indicative of some other cause. (And then leaps to the claim that that cause is some vaccine).

But if there were, could it not be related to lockdowns affecting people's health, wellbeing and diet?

Yeah, if there were, there next step would be to find out what it is related to. There has been a pandemic, and we do know that even a mild case of covid increases heart attacks.
