After traveling a few meters, he sees a swimmer in difficulty and turns around to help her. “I heard a cry for help and saw a young girl drowning”, he says on his Instagram.

“Very tired and without strength”

“I quickly approached her with the kite, I tried to calm her down and asked her to get on my back, she was very tired and weak.”

“Thank God”

Bruno Lobo explains that he used his equipment to bring her safely to the sand where the lifeguards made the first assistance at the seaside. “Thank God everything went well”, says the young athlete.

Kitesurfing became an Olympic discipline during the Paris Olympics last summer. Austrian Valentin Bontus won gold ahead of Slovenian Toni Vodisek and Singaporean Maximilian Maeder. Bruno Lobo took 7th place.
