Oh no, RIP 😢
"safe and effective"
Was the extreme heat the cause of his death? Was it 104 degrees in Ft Worth today like in Austin?
Congrats TX. You are truly incompitent.
How could this happen ?
En paz descanse Lazar Dukic😢
So no one went to help except call for the life guards????😂😂😂
So the saying is true. All muscles, no brains and courage.
Oh no
This was on livestream. He drowned not far from the finish line. Why didn’t the organizers have a simple motorized boat to get to swimmers quickly and get him medical attention? Not being able to get to him until 1 hr later is completely criminal. That alone is an indictment of how badly prepared organizers were for a water emergency.
Must have had the same team that was protecting Trump in PA.
Let the litigation begin 2:18 2:18 2:18
Should kept it in wisconsin too hot in texas
How was only 5 water safety personnel for 79 athletes an adequate plan?
an hour later???
Trump prefers Athletes who don't die.
crossshit has been a joke for years now
Sad😢
was he vaxxed?
RIP🕊
This is shocking and sad. CrossFit is not safe. Better safety coordination would have prevented this death.
