The 2980 Olympics boy was a fan of Hermes Conrad. He attended the 2980 Olympics and wanted to limbo as well as Hermes, but the limbo stick was too low for a child's developing spine to withstand the strain, and the boy died when his back broke. His death was the reason Hermes stopped competing in limbo.
