Olympian swimmer Anita Alvarez says she’s doing well after fainting underwater during the 2022 World Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
She wrote, “Thanks everyone,” on June 23, in her Instagram Story. Know that I’m fine and well! Thank you for all the support. I hope that everyone understands that I have two more days of competition here in Budapest.
Alvarez stated that she is not certain if she will continue to compete in the final competition.
After her solo routine was completed, Anita floated toward the bottom, appearing unconscious. After finishing her solo free routine, Anita was captured floating toward the bottom of the pool. Andrea Fuentes—who previously won four synchronized swimming Olympic medals for Spain—heroically leapt in the pool and was photographed pulling the swimmer up to the surface of the water.
