A swimmer from the US was saved after she fainted at the world aquatics championship.
After completing her routine in the solo free final, she lost consciousness and sank to the bottom of the pool.
The coach jumped into the water to rescue the swimmer because the lifeguards weren't doing it.
Photographs of the rescue have gone online.
"I was scared because I saw she wasn't breathing, but now she is doing very well," said the woman, who asked not to be named.
The coach said the rescue felt like an hour.
"I yelled at the lifeguards to get into the water, but they didn't catch what I said or they didn't understand," he said. I went as fast as possible.
She gave an update on the USA artistic swimming account.
All ofAnita's vitals were checked by the doctors and all were normal. In other high-endurance sports, this can happen. She wrote in the caption that she has seen images where some athletes don't make it to the finish line and others help them to get there.
We push through limits in our sport and sometimes we find them. She said that if she can continue to compete in an upcoming team event, she will talk to the doctors.
This isn't the first time that he has fainted in the pool. According to the outlet, she lost consciousness following a routine in Barcelona last year and was saved by the person she was with.
