FUJAIRAH, United Arab Emirates American swimmer Fran Crippen has died
whilst taking part in the last leg of the 10km Marathon Swimming World Cup
here on Saturday, swimming's governing body FINA said.
The 26-year-old, bronze medallist in both the 10km event at the Rome
worlds in 2009 and the FINA world open water championships in Canada this
year, had ambitions to become the first American to medal in open water
swimming at the 2012 London Olympics.

The Dubai-based Gulf News newspaper reported that organisers had called in
deep sea divers after all swimmers were thought to have finished the five
2km laps.
The police and coast guard divers spent two hours searching for Crippen,
managing to find him unconscious just before the final buoy, it reported.
He was brought to shore and rushed by ambulance to the main hospital in
Fujairah, one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates
and the only one that lies on the Gulf of Oman.
Other swimmers told Gulf News that Crippen, in contention for the World
Cup in pursuit of eventual winner Chad Ho of South Africa, had showed
signs of fatigue sometime on the third lap of the five-lap race.

American dies in 10K World Cup event: Fran Crippen, a medal-winning
open-water swimmer on the U.S. national team, reportedly told his coach he
wasn't feeling well late in a race before he died in the United Arab
Emirates on Saturday.
The 26-year-old from a family of prominent swimmers in suburban
Philadelphia was competing in the FINA Open Water 10-kilometer World Cup
in Fujairah, south of Dubai, but failed to finish and was found in the
water about two hours later, according to Swimming World.
Swimming World reported the water temperature was in the mid- to high-80s,
and several swimmers were treated for heat exhaustion after the race.
Crippen's body was found before the last buoy on the 2-kilometer
triangular course, race organizers said. He was taken to shore and
transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Julio Maglione, FINA president, said he was told Crippen told his coach he
wasn't feeling well after 8 kilometers.
