Dukic, 28, went underwater and did not resurface during a swimming event on Thursday morning at the CrossFit Games, an annual multi-day fitness challenge with athletes from around the world, local media reported.
CrossFit said it was “fully cooperating with authorities and doing everything we can to support the family at this time”.

The event was held at Marine Creek Lake in the Texas city of Fort Worth, according to local media.
Dukic was ranked third in Serbia and 88th worldwide, according to his profile on CrossFit’s website, which said he had finished first in this year’s European CrossFit semi-final.
Events were suspended for the remainder of Thursday, CrossFit said on X, without specifying if the competition, which was scheduled to finish on Sunday, would continue.
