MASSIVE Rescue of 25 Ironman & Ironwoman Competitors at Sydney Beach
Athletes Rush to Save 25 Swimmers Stuck in Flash Rip, After Surf Competition in Maroubra, Sydney
MASSIVE Surf Rescue Pulled Off by Ironman and Ironwoman Competitors at Sydney Beach The Guardian Australia 16 JAN 2024 Pulled Off by Ironman and Ironwoman Competitors at Sydney Beach In a miraculous stroke of luck, some of the nation’s best athletes happened to be there when 25 people were swept out to sea. Caught in a rip about 100 metres offshore of Sydney beach Maroubra on Sunday, 25 swimmers were rescued with the help of Ironman and Ironwoman athletes who happened to be competing earlier that day. A group of 10 participants, coaches and competitors used boards and rescue tubes to stabilise the swimmers before inflatable rescue boats arrived and escorted them to shore. The nation’s top surf athletes have detailed their heroic rescue efforts after 25 people were sucked into a dangerous rip at a Sydney beach. The Nutri-Grain Ironman and Ironwoman Series had only just wrapped its competition for the day when a group of swimmers were sucked into a “flash rip” at Maroubra about 4pm on Sunday. In a matter of seconds, the swimmers were forced out to sea in the powerful current and became stranded in deep waters. Ironwoman Lana Rogers had reclaimed her title for the second year and was celebrating on the beach with friends when she heard a call over the loudspeaker. |
