If confirmed, that is the first-ever medal for a Spanish athlete in orienteering at The World Games.

 Sadurska was practically drowning, the assistants in the water had to perform a maneuver. Apparently this is normal? If you have assistance, come DSQ. A crazy sport.

Approximately when in the program was that? Super scary, so naturally I wanna see what exactly happened with my own eyes. 
 

Not that I enjoy people drowning or anything

Was watching freediving but suddenly heard a classical Chinese music, I thought this was to keep spectators entertained... but it's actually from the dragon boat competition session break

 

Have to say that the sport is amazing, holding your breath while moving back and forth at the pool is unimaginable to me

Yeah, I swim laps occasionally and used to do competitive swimming (not for long though) and right now if I were to try could probably only do 30-35m before my lungs would explode (and that’s pushing it) 

 

Can’t imagine doing multiple laps of that, just insane
