Slovakian swimmer Tamara Potocka is “fine” after collapsing following her 200m medley heat at the Paris Olympics.
Potocka, 21, collapsed by the side of the pool at La Defense Arena, where she received immediate medical care, including being given oxygen.
The Slovakian team told BBC Sport that Potocka had an asthma attack.
In a statement on Friday evening, they added Potocka had “improved significantly” and was “fine”.
“She was discharged from medical care around 3pm and is recovering in her room in the Olympic Village,” the team said.
Swimming in her only event at the Games, Potocka finished seventh in her heat and missed out on a place in the semi-final.
