An athlete has drowned while competing in a CrossFit Games event, with the devastating death playing out a short paddle from the finish line in front of cameras, cheering fans and clueless officials. Lazar Dukic, a 28-year-old Serbian athlete, was competing Thursday at Marine Creek Lake in Fort Worth, Texas, where the games were being held. Dukic was approaching land and a finish line set up on the shore when he appeared to begin struggling. “It was pretty devastating,” visiting Canadian athlete Cole Learn told KXAS-TV. The situation evolved “very, very quickly,” Learn said, describing the swimmer’s struggle to get air as he moved around in desperate circles. Video from the incident shows the struggle just offshore, with officials intently watching the finish line, oblivious to what was happening a dozen yards away.
