* In 2000, American gymnast Morgan White actually made it onto the Olympic team, but was forced to drop out days before the Games because of a foot injury that was only getting worse. While the injury wasn't totally career-ending, it cost White her only real shot at Olympic glory. Adding insult to injury (almost [[LiteralMetaphor literally]]), she was treated incredibly callously by the Olympic staff after her withdrawal, as she was immediately forced out of the athletes' village and had her credentials confiscated and destroyed in front of her; this experience was so unpleasant and humiliating that the national team coordinator, Marta Karolyi, made an unoffical policy of not subbing out athletes in the Olympics even if they were injured because she didn't want other gymnasts to have to go through that.

* Creator/BrandonLee, the son of Creator/BruceLee, was a talented actor in his own right who seemed to be on a path to make a name for himself in the field. ''Film/TheCrow'' was expected by many to be his breakout movie that would launch his career to new heights, only for Brandon to end up dying in a firearm accident on that very movie's set.

* American Football safety Nick Collins, a three-time Pro Bowler with the Green Bay Packers who had set records with his interception returns, was on the path to a Hall of Fame career until a freak accident on a routine play in 2011 left him with a herniated disc in his neck. Collins was forced to undergo major spinal surgery[[note]]incidentally the same procedure that ended the career of another Packers player, Sterling Sharpe, 16 years earlier[[/note]], and [[CareerEndingInjury was never able to play professional football again]]. Collins did get several standout years and a Super Bowl ring prior to the injury, making him one of the more successful examples of this trope, but he and many of his former teammates believe he could have been one of the best safeties of his era (up there with legends like Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu) if his career hadn't been cut short.
