The organisers of a CrossFit competition have confirmed that one of their athletes have died. As all eyes were on the finish, it soon came to light that competitor Lazar Đukić, was missing. The 28-year-old’s body was found two hours later. The event was in Fort Worth’s Marine Creek Lake, near Dallas, Texas. The Fort Worth Fire Department said they were called to the area around 8am because there “was a participant in the water that was down and hadn’t been seen in some point in time”.
He said the CrossFit community was like a family. “We’re doing everything in our power during this tragic time to support the family, to support our community,” he said. Đukić went missing during the swimming leg of the individual run-swim. The event started with a 5.6km run and finished with an 800m swim. It appears in the livestream that as the swimmers headed for the finish line, one competitor stops in the water. However, it has not been confirmed if that swimmer was Đukić.
