The Olympics said on its news blog that its coach, Andrea Fuentes, who previously won four Olympic medals in synchronized swimming for Spain, is jumping into action.
“Anita is fine” after the horrific accident, Fuentes said in a statement posted on the Instagram page of the American artistic swimming.
“The doctors checked all the vitals and everything was normal: heart rate, oxygen, sugar levels, blood pressure, etc… Everything is fine,” she said.
“Sometimes we forget that this happens in other high-end endurance sports. Marathon, cycling, cross country,” she continued.
“We’ve all seen pictures where some athletes don’t reach the finish line and others help them get there.”
“Our sport is no different, only in billiards, we cross the boundaries and sometimes we find them,” she said. “Anita is feeling fine now and the doctors also say she is fine.”
