By Peter Barzilai Verified|princeton.eduBetween the deadline stress, the disagreements, and the laughs at The Daily Princetonian in the mid-1990s, there were times when staff members couldn’t help but stop and admire the work of one of their colleagues. Before Grant Wahl ’96 was a world-famous soccer journalist, he was a Princeton student with a special talent. His colleagues could see it in how he did the work, and the readers could see it in his elegant writing and smart reporting.
By Peter Barzilai Verified|princeton.eduGrant Wahl ’96 died Friday while covering the World Cup in Qatar, U.S. Soccer and his wife, Celine Gounder ’97, confirmed in separate posts on Twitter. He was 48. “I am so thankful for the support of my husband @GrantWahl’s soccer family & of so many friends who’ve reached out tonight. I’m in complete shock,” Gounder wrote. Wahl, one of the preeminent soccer writers in America, was covering the match between Argentina and the Netherlands when he collapsed in the press box.
