Olympic swimmer Anita Alvarez was once again on the verge of death when she passed out in the pool during the 2022 World Championships. But this was not the first time the 25-year-old had been exposed to such exposure, as she passed out during qualification for the World Championships. Olympic games in Barcelona in 2021. Alvarez said her busy schedule had previously caused her to pass out during workouts. She told Spectrum News, “I honestly didn’t get enough sleep. By the time we got back to the pool, I had to get up again around 5:30 am to get back. I saw the ceiling spinning and that’s the last thing I remember.”
It should be noted that this incident occurred in the women’s singles free skating final match in Budapest, Hungary. On that first occasion, she was saved by coach Andrea Fuentes, as was the second time.
