Bruno Lobo is using his heroic act as a PSA.
The Olympian, who placed seventh in men’s kite sailing for Team Brazil at the 2024 Paris Olympics, saved a young woman from drowning Jan. 10 while he was testing out camera equipment for his sport, capturing the terrifying moment on film and sharing it as a warning to his followers.
“The day that God used me as an instrument to save this young woman, all honor and glory to Him,” Lobo wrote, translated from Portuguese, in a Jan. 12 Instagram post. “Stay alert about the danger of the sea, rivers and anywhere you don’t know because the current in some places is usually very strong!”
The 31-year-old detailed that at around 5:40 p.m., he had decided to go out to test his new camera equipment despite that weather conditions “were not the best.” Shortly after he headed out to sea, he heard the young woman, who has not been identified, calling out for help.
