Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad, who attempted to become the first person to swim between Cuba and Florida without a shark cage, was forced to abandon her effort early Tuesday morning — roughly halfway through her journey.
Nyad was vomiting when she was brought aboard a boat at 12:45 a.m. Tuesday — 29 hours after she jumped into the water Sunday.
“I am not sad. It was absolutely the right call,” she said.
Nyad, who is 61, struggled through ocean swells, shoulder pain and asthma Monday before she was forced to give up the 103-mile swim. Strong winds and less than ideal currents played into her decision, her team said.
“Earlier in the evening, she was surrounded by dolphins and a beautiful Caribbean sunset. But strong currents blew her 15mph off course,” her team posted on her Twitter account.
she was’nt doing angyhing for any body she was commiying suicide
was really hoping to read
“61-yr-old American woman who attempted to swim from Cuba to the US without a shark cage was eaten by sharks”
…some of us just too adventurous> just saying…
It is not easy to swim this far without obstacles. At least she had the strength to try; no doubt received previous training. The saying: “If at first you do not succeed try again.” Many of the swimmers and others have done just that. I do believe that she will not give up until she has accomplished her mission. Good luck to her.
It have more crazy people outside than inside…lol!
It takes one to know one.
I do not where your comment comes in. Do you not give people credit for at least trying? Are you discriminating? What are you doing for your environment and the world in general?
The words are not “It have”. They are “there are…” in plural form.
it is not discriminating she wasnot trying to do any thing for anyone but truing to commit suicide
