The organization described her as “an angel in human form” and noted her significant contributions as the presenter of the Figure category on their channel, MuscleContest Femme. Tributes have poured in from friends, fans, and fellow athletes, all mourning the loss of a vibrant and motivating figure in the bodybuilding community.

Another expressed deep sorrow, stating that the sport had lost a super athlete and they had lost a dear friend. The outpouring of condolences highlights the impact Goldani had on those around her, both personally and professionally.
This tragic event is a stark reminder of the fragility of life, even for those who appear to be at the peak of physical health. It also underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing health issues promptly. Goldani’s legacy in the bodybuilding world will be remembered for her rapid rise and her inspiring presence, serving as a motivating figure for many aspiring athletes.
Sadly, Goldani’s death follows other recent losses in the bodybuilding community, such as the passing of German influencer and bodybuilder Joesthetics, who died at age 30 from an aneurysm. These incidents remind us of the unpredictable nature of life and the importance of treasuring every moment.
