Move over, Olympics—lifesaving just made a SPLASH 💦 at the 2025 Chengdu World Games! This adrenaline-packed sport combines water rescue skills with heart-pumping races, proving heroes can be athletes too. 🦸♀️🚨
Germany's Nina Holt kicked off the action by SMASHING the women's 100m rescue medley world record 🏅. 'It’s not just about speed—it’s about saving lives AND making global friends,' she told CGTN Sports Scene.
Italy’s Lucrezia Fabretti became a double champion 🥇🥇, dominating the 100m manikin carry and 200m super lifesaver events. Shouting out her coach and Chinese fans, she grinned: 'This feels like winning a Golden Globe—but wetter!' 🌏✨
With 8 golds awarded Friday and 8 more up for grabs Saturday, these aqua-athletes are redefining what it means to #WinAndRescue. Who needs capes when you’ve got swim caps? 🩱👏
