A CrossFit athlete has drowned during the competition in Texas, as the authorities only moments before managed to extricate the dead body.
The 28-year-old athlete Lazar Dukic drowned almost 100 meters from the finish line of the 800-meter long race in Fort Worth, Texas.
Shocking is the fact that his drowning was filmed during the live broadcast, as viewers were shocked.
A member of the public jumped in to help him, according to media reports, but was stopped by a security guard in a kayak.
Authorities recovered the body minutes later from Marine Creek Lake.
While everyone is watching Tia race for the finish. Including it appears the CrossFitGames safety team. Lazar dukic is left to drown with apparently spectators being turned away from attempting a rescue. The paddle borders effed up
