Many more you can see in searches.

The first article mentions that 0.5-1/100,000 under 35 athletes had cardiac arrests. Also says 2.6 events per 100,000 athlete-years (whatever that is). Would be interesting to see the data for the past 2 years.

I'm certainly not suggesting there is nothing to see here, it's just that I'm an ornery SOB who likes to play devil's advocate and stir shit up :)
