Athlete emerges into daylight after 500 days in cave FMTNews FMTSports
MADRID: A 50-year-old Spanish extreme athlete who spent 500 days living 70m deep in a cave outside Granada with no contact with the outside world has told how the time flew by and she did not want to come out.
She was greeted by a phalanx of cameras and her support team who, wearing masks, encircled her in a hug.“When they came in to get me, I was asleep. I thought something had happened. I said: ‘Already? Surely not.’ I hadn’t finished my book.” There were hard moments – such as when the cave was invaded by flies – and some “beautiful ones”, she said.She said she had focused on retaining “coherence”, eating well and relishing the silence.
“You have to remain conscious of your feelings – if you’re afraid that’s something natural but never let panic in or you get paralysed.” Flamini was monitored by a group of psychologists, researchers, speleologists – specialists in the study of caves – and physical trainers who watched her every move and monitored her physical and mental wellbeing.
