The American synchro fell ill at the end of her exercise, fainted and was unconscious for several seconds underwater. Then her intervention that saved her life
He’s fine now, but for a few minutes he shook the entire synchronized swimming facility and millions of viewers at home. At the Szechy poolwhile the tests of the free single, the American one, were taking place Anita Alvarez25, fell ill at the end of her exercise, passed out and was underwater for several seconds, taking the whole organization off guard if it was true that no one was intervening.

it was then the US coach who dived, rescued her and carried her to the poolside. Only then did the medical and paramedical personnel intervene. Transported to the infirmary and examined, Anita (a synchronic who boasts an Olympic participation in Rio and a certain irony if true that in the presentation bio he writes I took the elevator twice with Michael Phelps and I stepped on Michelle Obama’s toes when she hugged me on a visit to the White House ) been judged out of danger. Shortly after, also to reassure everyone about her condition, she returned to the group, welcomed by the embrace of her staff and the applause of all the athletes present in the training pool. It is still not clear what caused her illness, it is thought of a mix of heat (the outdoor synchronized swimming pool) and stress for the competition.
