So glad that she’s ok!
J
Relieved to hear that she is ok. Best wishes to everyone involved in this sport. Considering it's usually dismissed as being not much of a sport, it's good to see this report on the dangers involved. The athletes make it look so easy and that's where the artistry comes in. Thank you!
The risks could be limited by setting the rules in a way not to score higher for extended underwater times and educate athletes and coaches in knowledge from freediving about blackout prevention and treatment.
Life is risky
Agree. And some points deduction or even DQ if fail to acomplish.
@@alainbellemare2168Doesn’t mean you add to it unnecessarily.
@@alainbellemare2168 There are limitations and banned move in just about every other competitive sport because we recognize that it's unsafe to allow people to push themselves past their limits in competition. She could have easily died. That was not a necessary risk to take for a medal and should absolutely be limited.
But then what’s the point of the sport?
That coach is a hero
I’m guessing a lot of people are not aware that your oxygen levels will drop as you hold your breath. Holding your breath plus exercising means hypoxia will definitely set in quickly if you’re not getting adequate recovery between dives back under the water. Just like you would pass out if holding your breath while running or lifting weights for too long. I’m so glad she recovered! I always wondered how they do this as I have never been good at holding my breath for long periods of time.
Exhale before inhale and then hold your breath
@@piiinkDeluxe. I practice this once my head touches the pillow and sleep really well.

Used to be a life guard and the more muscle & less fat someone has, the harder they are to save. I’m so glad that lady jumped in so quick
That’s scary
They should have scuba divers at the ready to facilitate a rescue. Just the coach alone is not enough!
The sports at the Olympics have become so dangerous and in some cases hard to watch!
There are risks in many sports when people push the boundaries of what is possible there is a risk of going over the line into dangerous territory.
Heart felt
Τρομακτικό θέαμα να βλέπεις έναν άνθρωπο να χάνει τις εσθισεις του μέσα νερό μπροστά σε κόσμο 😢
With all that adrenaline, and being so used to holding your breath, and being so caught up in the moment, I can imagine hypoxia could sweep in so suddenly and unexpectedly for even the most experienced swimmers!
They need a limit of 15 seconds max
Glad she is fine. I took my daughter off synchronized swimming team, as she was bullied by her teammates and even worse by their parents, for being the only brown girl in white team. And she is such a humbl sweet girl! Sorry Sc aquamaid for speaking out the fact!
And also, 2 girls have back to back head collision under water, my daughter had concussion. One coach couldn’t identify. As she was a baby coach herself. Thank God, the other coach saw it. And made her sit. It’s very dangerous sports!
All I can think of when watching this is a Cinderella story where the step sisters do this.
I never knew
I understand you perfectly...I know very well the risk of this smiling and cruel sport
I had the same experiance during a competition...I still remember the panic and I still remember why it s happened...because in many times coachs and athletes want to go over the limits over the natural process of body capacities. It s normal in a agonistic space but I think that sometimes BREATHING it s much more important. Thank you for asking me
@@DanielaPagani-bi6ez It’s one of the frustrating things about a lot of sports dominated by women. Because of the emphasis on the artistry and beauty, people don’t realize just how taxing, hard, and dangerous these sports actually are.
@@HereForTheComments990totally agree
Im guessing this is shallow water blackout????
Hypoxia, maybe?
Extreme physical exertion on very limited air intake. This athlete is a little more prone to passing out, as this is not the first time her coach has saved her.
How much they get paid? 😮
In synchronized swimming if one of them drowns do they all have to drown too?
if they tryna win
No they will know something is wrong and if everyone does it, it will get confusing on who will really need help😅
😂😂😂 this actually cheered me up
Drowning is serious she could have died you dont stop breathing underwater
🙏🏾✝️🪨
Did she have a seizure? Stroke?
No. She just passed out. This is an extreme sport that requires huge amounts of effort with limited air intake. It happens.
@@HereForTheComments990 oh wow! Never knew that was a thing. It looks amazing though.
Saturday Night Live forever ruined this "sport" for me, I just bust out laughing.
Imagine if CBC thought of politics like the Olympics
Not worth it!
I must say that I have a tendency to like the women who take part in this sport and I also like their swimming costumes.
I can only assume this is an SNL skit
Drama queens
Guess what!
LIFE is dangerous!
NOBODY gets outa here alive!
Cbc sports?Boycott.
What a gay sport
Yeah, it's a joyful activity ...
@@CaptButtonMashpretty sure that’s not what he meant
@@wesleytwiggs7687it is, dont worry
What a horrible human.
Because woman do it? You must really like men if you think women are gay.
How “DANGEROUS”???
It was artística Swimming!!!!
