I read an article about this yesterday that really moved me. It was more or less about those who lift you up when you're sinking and just need a hand. What an amazing coach, and I'm happy everyone is okay.
I would assume it was due to hypoxia. Maybe an underdeveloped or poor technique is the real cause, as it's fairly easy to develop hypoxia when not gaining enough oxygen during routines.
A hero is someone who selflessly risks their own life to help someone in danger. Doing something that is the least that is expected of you, is not heroism.
The coach was watching what was going on because that's what coaches tend to do. She jumped in to help when it was blatantly obvious that the swimmer needed help. I think you embellish the story a little bit to make the coach seem like some kind of extraordinary human being, when she just did what anyone would have done.
she's pretty safe actually. It's not enough time to cause brain damage and getting someone off from the bottom of a pool is a piece of cake for these athletes.
Either there were no lifeguards at that event or the 2 minutes figure is bogus. There is n9 way even the coach would've taken that long, let alone the lifeguards.
The famous still photo taken just as she reached the swimmer is just an iconic example of how incredibly wonderful and caring women are. And there is nothing more beautiful than an athletic woman...
Not enough is say about the athlete preparing to compete, no name no importance, but he lost precious energy that he will need to compete, maybe dropping a medal by doing so. He also deserve credit.
Bravo to the coach. As for the athlete, she shouldn't be allowed to compete anymore. Putting herself in life-threatening situations REPEATEDLY is NOT what sports is all about.
@@fatoumatacisse3796 most athletes didn't almost die and did not need rescuing. This one showed she needs to be rescued repeatedly. It's like Guinness banning record-seeking gigs that are too dangerous. Or Olympics banning certain stunts in ice-skating that are too life-threatening.
Its not your place to decide that for her, keep in mind that for some athletes the sport is their life, and some would risk it all to achieve the most they possibly can.
@@alexpieters2345the arent deciding it for her though. It's a suggestion. But apparently she didn't quit and she got a silver medal at the Olympics (someone said)...... for me though, I wouldn't push myself that hard. My body and health is more important (but that's also why I'm not in the Olympics. lol)
This is not a happy happy hero story, this should shed light on how hard and past the limit these athletes push themselves to meet weight, prepare, and get into the Olympics. Either way props to the coach for saving this girl.
Anita Alvarez’s fainting incidents are believed to be related to the intense physical and mental demands of synchronized swimming. This sport requires athletes to hold their breath for extended periods while performing strenuous routines, which can sometimes lead to hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and loss of consciousness. She is still actively involved in synchronized swimming. Despite the challenges she has faced, she continues to compete and train at a high level. Her dedication and resilience are truly inspiring. It’s amazing to see athletes overcome such obstacles and continue to pursue their passion. She has achieved significant success in her career. She has won multiple medals, including silver and bronze, at major international competitions like the Olympics, World Championships, and Pan American Games.
In high school I be that I could swim the width of our high school pool underwater on one breath. At 4 3/4 I passed out and floated to the surface where my teammates pulled me out. When you force yourself you CAN put yourself in a situation where you override your bodies natural needs/reflexes. I was lucky, I was within arms length of the side. This girl had a great coach who recognized the situation and jumped in. Fortunately the swimmer's body reflex did not attempt to breath in after passing out.
@@illusorytrutheffect Where in the video does it say that she was 2 minutes into her routine? The video says she was underwater for 2 minutes and that's it.
What I wish they’d asked is what happened to the lifeguards that are supposed to help in these situations. Why weren’t any of them in the water at any time? Do they not know how to swim?
Sometimes being great at what you do just comes to an end two times being unconscious. I think its time to retire dont let a third time be your strike out. #❤ for what you do # everything comes to an end😔
She was unconscious, so not panicking and inhaling water. You have something called a diving reflex, when your face hits cold water, your body reduces demands and moves blood to vital organs, this slows down the heart rate and your heart and brain will consume way less oxygen and preserve the rest. She could’ve lasted under there for a minute because she’s a swimmer and probably has a strong diving reflex. Also why you should be grateful and take care of your avatar! Yes avatar not body. Look up with avatar means, you have a special system within you, amazing.
She's not just a coach. She's a godsend!❤
Blessings
She's a coach doing what anyone would do in the same situation lol
Pretty sure she came from her parents, not some imaginary person

@@jaredgrimes5532 a coach knows to swin wtf
Kudos to that "another swimmer preparing to compete" for jumping in to help.
Who wouldn’t do that in this situation
@mikerzisu9508 I know. It's like the commenter thinks "another swimmer preparing to compete" would just smile while she died.
I wonder why they didn't say his name.
Not everyone would though @@mikerzisu9508
It's not like he selflessly risked his own life. The guy jumps into pools for a living. He literally loves jumping into pools.
The coach is an angel.

That's why she's the coach and not a kitwoman
I read an article about this yesterday that really moved me. It was more or less about those who lift you up when you're sinking and just need a hand. What an amazing coach, and I'm happy everyone is okay.
She’s fainted twice. She may need to diagnose that for a possible underlying problem
Yeah, I would stop swimming if I fainted twice. Absolutely not worth the risk
I would assume it was due to hypoxia. Maybe an underdeveloped or poor technique is the real cause, as it's fairly easy to develop hypoxia when not gaining enough oxygen during routines.
I saw this story on the olympics this week. She had a doctor and they made her go through some tests before competing again.
Jabbed/Boosted?
Sounds like there could be a problem under the surface.
and now she's an Olympic Silver Medalist!! Way to never give up :)
What an incredible hero! She deserves a medal.
She already won hers. She's an Olympic medal winner. She's a legend in the sport.
@@lillyess385A hero medal not a competition medal 🤦🏽♀️stop hating
A hero is someone who selflessly risks their own life to help someone in danger. Doing something that is the least that is expected of you, is not heroism.
@@GraceandGrowthjourney7 wtf is a hero medal? are you 12
That coach is a LEGEND, watching her teammate intently enough to determine the danger she was in and then promptly saving her. KUDOS !
twice!
Yaass!! She's a lifesaver! Bless her heart.

Promptly? She was unconscious for two minutes. 🤣
it's not hard to see a swimmer go from moving to not.
This is the 2nd time the coach has saved her - there's a message here to the woman who passed out...the 3rd time she may not be so lucky.
she's pretty safe actually. It's not enough time to cause brain damage and getting someone off from the bottom of a pool is a piece of cake for these athletes.
yeah! she definitely need to work on her breathing style or stop being a professional athlete for the sake of her health
@@Veritas-dq2hsyea shes pretty safe now. But it might not be as safe later 😉 Think about it.
She needs to quit because it was her coach who saved her twice. If the coach isn't there, it might be too late to save her as no one will see.
This might not be the sport for her.
The Coach Is Brave and Beautiful.
Thanks Coach you are a saint from heaven. Way to be looking. Fire every single lifeguard at that event and their supervisors who trained them.
I think she is pushing herself too hard, she needs to practice how to avoid this situation after it happened not once but twice, that's scary
Absolutely !! something is wrong here this girl should not be competing
This is a ticking time bomb. Kudos to the coach. Once is bad enough, but twice??
Her losing conciseness, means she doesn’t belong in water.
Thank goodness for that!
I saw her routine. She's a great athlete.
Respect to all athlete's who compete on our behalf, putting there bodies on the line for the nation, thank you.
That is not what the olympics are about. They’re not soldiers.
@@kissit012 Don't be petty.
That is the weirdest take on the Olympics I’ve ever heard.
Bro, the LIFEGUARDS. WHAT are they doing
Right, like she was in there for 2 minutes! Coach and other swimmer jumped in and they didn’t jump in too?
i was thinking exactly the same thing! Pathetic lifeguards. well done coach!
Probably out there 🌲 💨 dazed
The lifeguards don't know the routine. The coach does. If she goes down when she's supposed to go up, the coach knows. But the lifeguards don't, yet.
Either there were no lifeguards at that event or the 2 minutes figure is bogus. There is n9 way even the coach would've taken that long, let alone the lifeguards.
Such a moving moment, so beautiful! Her coach and the other swimmer are heroes!!!
Love and peace to both of you
No, lady you are done. Listen to your body, please.

I don't think so.

Lot’s of credit. Amazing the ‘life guards’ took so long to swim into action. Worrying actually a coach and another swimmer were in
If I was her, I wouldn’t swim alone!!!
She passed out twice!!?
@@strandgirl1000yes
Honestly, it would be very stupid if she did
What a stupid decision to continue to pursue a swimming career when you have already fainted twice in the pool? I have no word.
No one should swim alone ever
Bravo to the coach. As for the athlete, she shouldn't be allowed to compete anymore. Putting herself in life-threatening situations REPEATEDLY is NOT what sports is all about.
I'm afraid that at that level..... Putting yourself in life-threatening situations REPEATEDLY is exactly what sports is all about
Это то чем занимается проф спорт
But that applies to literally any sports that shouldn’t mean that all athletes should playing sports just because they got hurt before?

How many times i watched it i dont know. Trainer is an angle.❤❤❤
Glad she’s going to be ok..and great work to the coach and the other guy.
An ANGEL for a coach. Big ups 👍 to you Coach...for your awareness and the calmness you exude under fire (and, water).
What an AMAZING woman that coach is!
I think it’s time for her to give it up for her own health & safety at this point
that's what I was about to say.. she doesnt know when to quit...
absolutly, or be required to wear a safety device that alarms at surface if she faints.
Its not your place to decide that for her, keep in mind that for some athletes the sport is their life, and some would risk it all to achieve the most they possibly can.

Srowning for two minutes probably causes brain damage.

2 minutes? Nobody was in a big hurry obviously! SMH!
The coach knows what the routine should look like. Her response will be faster than the lifeguard has to guess if everything is okay.
Great job coach.

Now that’s a real coach and a guardian angel 💪💪💪💪💪😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
There’s two lessons here: 1. Whenever you practice something like this, make sure you’re not alone.
2. Always swim with a buddy.
And this, kids, is a prime example of the bystander effect.
No one did anything for nearly 2 full minutes.
Can't it be a minute before they noticed something was wrong and another minute for the coach to jump and reach her near the bottom of the pool?
@@Kris-nx2tv possibly... and way too long. what's the longest you can hold your breath under water?
Exactly lmao not even a full minute last I tried @@borizh
If you listen to the video she was 2 minutes into her routine when passing out, not under water for 2 minutes passed out.
@@illusorytrutheffect Where in the video does it say that she was 2 minutes into her routine? The video says she was underwater for 2 minutes and that's it.

She needs to be assessed and maybe choose another career.

I think they didn’t get the situation… the coach realized way faster cause she knew it already
Big respect to both of them .
When you go beyond what your body is capable of 👏
Wheres the video, not just pictures
If she has this problem, then she should just quit doing this, it can go very wrong the next time. Nobody needs to provide anything.
I love them both!!

You are a heroine. You saved her life

In really touched by this
This was probably the best place to pass out in the water.
Real Heroes don't wear capes!
Fainted and almost drowned twice. Maybe this sport is not for you.
Or she shouldn't swim alone for sure..but it's better not to swim..
She should take the hint.
Don't be a naysayer.
