The American Anita Álvarez, who on Wednesday had to be rescued from the pool after fainting at the end of the exercise in the free solo final, will not be able to participate, as planned, and as she wanted, in the free set final. This has been decided by the decision of the International Swimming Federation (FINA) which will prevent him from participating for reasons of “athlete safety”.
Alvarez starred in the big scare of the World Cup in Budapest when she had to be rescued from the pool by her coach, Andrea Fuentes from Vallès, after fainting in the water at the end of the exercise in the final of only free. “The incident was shocking for everyone involved. We hope that global curiosity about this situation will be reflected in the global interest in our incredible sport and its amazing athletes, ”said the American Federation.
