La Derecha Diario Brawl in Costa Azul: Lifeguards Throwing Punches During the Competition
A water rescue tournament ended in a violent confrontation on the beach.
In the seaside town of Costa Azul, a water rescue competition ended in a brutal fight between lifeguards on the shore. The sequence was recorded by witnesses and a drone flying over the area. The confrontation escalated until dozens of people got involved.
The event was held under the summer sun and brought together lifeguards from different towns along the Buenos Aires coast. The competition, organized by the Unique Union of Lifeguards and Related of the Argentine Republic (Sugara), is an annual contest that aims to foster camaraderie among the participants.
How the fight broke out
According to witnesses from the local media 0223, a member of the Santa Teresita team blocked the path of a rival from San Bernardo. This sparked an exchange of words that quickly turned into a fistfight.
While a team was reaching the shore, a lifeguard lost his balance and fell on the sand after contact with another competitor. In seconds, the argument turned into shoving and ended in a brawl.
Several people tried to separate those involved, but others joined the conflict, increasing the level of violence. The situation created tension among those present, and the fight took a while to be controlled.
