Nayeli Clemente, a 24-year-old athlete, tragically died at the Choula Games CrossFit competition in Mexico after suffering a cardiac arrest during the event. Competing in intensely hot weather, Clemente struggled to breathe before fainting. Attending doctor Daniela Castruita administered CPR, but concerns were raised about the slow and disorganized emergency response from event organizers. Clemente's team criticized the lack of sufficient medical personnel and necessary equipment, highlighting the critical nature of emergency preparedness during high-intensity, high-temperature physical activities.
"At a critical moment, where every second counted, the medical staff contracted by the event organizers did not respond with the preparation or necessary resources."
"The number of paramedics and ambulances was insufficient for the magnitude of the event, and there was no rapid access to the pyramid."
