La reina mundial de apnea desaparece en Formentera
La rusa Natalia Molchanova, de 53 años, no regresó de una de sus zambullidas el pasado domingo. Los cuerpos de emergencia y un robot privado, en la búsqueda.

Organismos de emergencias y una compañía privada con un robot buscan en aguas de Formentera a la plusmarquista mundial de apnea Natalia Molchanova, desaparecida el domingo mientras practicaba dicha modalidad de buceo a pulmón en aguas de Formentera.
Fuentes de los organismos que participan en la búsqueda que se desarrolla a unas dos millas de la playa de Illetes, donde se encontraba la embarcación en la que navegaba la deportista, han confirmado a Efe la identidad de la buceadora rusa de 53 años, que es campeona del mundo en varias categorías de apnea.
Efectivos de Salvamento Marítimo y del Grupo Especial de Actividades Subacuáticas (GEAS) de la Guardia Civil participan en la búsqueda de la buceadora desde el pasado domingo, cuando sus acompañantes alertaron de la desaparición, y hoy se ha sumado también a las tareas una empresa privada contratada por la familia de la mujer, que dispone de un robot submarino.
Molchanova es campeona mundial de apnea en siete modalidades reconocidas por la Asociación Internacional para el Desarrollo de la Apnea (AIDA) como son peso constante y apnea dinámica con y sin aletas, apnea estática, inmersión libre y peso variable. Había alcanzado en su carrera los 69 metros de profundidad sin aletas y los 101 con ellas. Había estado bajo el agua hasta nueve minutos y dos segundos y nadó, sin respirar, 182 metros.
Su récord más reciente es la plusmarca mundial femenina en peso constante con aletas, con 71 metros de profundidad, alcanzados el pasado 13 de mayo en Dahab (Egipto).

La plusmarquista Kira Grünberg queda finalmente tetrapléjica
La plusmarquista Kira Grünberg queda finalmente tetrapléjica
Finalmente, la atleta Kira Grünberg (21) se ha quedado tetrapléjica después de sufrir un fuerte golpe durante un entrenamiento de salto con pértiga. Así lo confirmó Thomas Herzog, su representante
Finalmente, la atleta Kira Grünberg (21) se ha quedado tetrapléjica después de sufrir un fuerte golpe durante un entrenamiento de salto con pértiga. Así lo confirmó Thomas Herzog, su representante.
Los médicos de la clínica universitaria de Innsbruck informaron de ello a la atleta y a su familia el fin de semana: “La fractura de la quinta vértebra cervical dañó la movilidad de las piernas y también de los brazos”.
En un primer momento, la Federación Austríaca de Atletismo (ÖLV) emitió un comunicado en el que informaba del accidente sufrido con el primer pronóstico: paraplejia.
En dicho diagnóstico se observó “una rotura en las vértebras cervicales de la columna”. Después de pasar por el quirófano “se le diagnosticó paraplejia por lo que la paciente tuvo que ser operada de forma inmediata para estabilizar las vértebras cervicales y evitar más daños. La paciente está actualmente en cuidados intensivos. La evolución siguiente dependerá de los resultados de los análisis de la semana que viene”.
El principal objetivo de la operación a la que fue sometida Kira Grünberg fue “mantener las funciones vitales. Ahora, a Kira le espera un camino diferente, más largo y más duro”. El problema es que la evolución no experimentó la mejora deseada y según Thomas Herzog, los médicos aseguraron que los daños son permanentes y los pronósticos dan poco espacio para la recuperación de la movilidad.

F1 legend Michael Schumacher is trying to win 'toughest race' ever, says ex-Ferrari boss
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER "is trying to win his toughest race" as he continues his battle to recover from traumatic head injuries sustained during a skiing fall which left him in a coma.

As Luca di Montezemolo, ex-Ferrari president, was inducted into the Automotive "Hall of Fame", he dedicated his award to the ailing Formula One driver and seven-time world champion Schumacher.
He said: "I don't know if I would have received this award without him.
"It is dedicated to him, because he is trying to win his toughest race."
Schumacher, 46, is currently recovering after suffering severe brain injuries following a ski accident in the French Alps.
The former Ferrari and Mercedes driver needed emergency surgery and was placed in an artificial coma after the accident in December 2013.
He spent several months fighting for his life following the crash but last June was transferred from a hospital in the French town of Grenoble to a Swiss hospital after regaining consciousness.
Speaking at the event in Detroit, United States, Mr Montezemolo also admitted Schumacher's plight was "very sad".
He added: "He was not only someone I worked with, but above all a friend with whom I shared so much. To know that he now lies in bed for such a long time is very sad."
After 23 years at the helm of Ferrari, Mr Montezemolo stepped down in September last year following an internal power struggle with current chairman Sergio Marchionne.
He is now non-executive chairman of Italy's national airline Alitalia.
Schumacher returned home to Gland on Lake Geneva in September 2014 for further rehabilitation.
His family have imposed a near-total news blackout on the care he is receiving at his Swiss mansion.
But speaking earlier this year the F1 legend's manager Sabine Kehm said he was "making progress".
The seven-time World Champion’s family is facing spiralling care costs with the current spending on his rehabilitation estimated at over £10million.
His family is said to be spending around £100,000-a-week looking after him.
It has been claimed that Schumacher has been left a mute with "limited awareness" of his environment and is also still unable to walk following the crash.
But those claims about his health are unconfirmed.

Michael Schumacher Condition Latest News: Formula One World Champion Status Revealed by Former Ferrari President

The former long-time Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo acknowledged F1 legend Michael Schumacher in his acceptance speech for his induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, according to reports.
"I don't know if I would have received this award without him. It is dedicated to him, because he is trying to win his toughest race," he said.
He continued on to recall his strong friendship with the F1 champion, telling the public he was not only someone he worked with but above all a friend with whom he shared so much. He also said that Schumacher's present condition wherein "he now lies in bed for such a long time is very sad."
Schumacher was hospitalized after his Dec. 29, 2013 skiing accident wherein he got severe head injuries. His helmet split and he crashed into huge rocks on a slope at the Meribel ski resort in the French Alps. This accident caused profound brain damage as well as coma that he awoke from on April 4, 2014. Schumacher presently lives in his home with the family spending £100,000 a week to pay for his medical expenses, claimed Metro magazine.
Earlier this year, Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kelm, announced that the F1 champion was making progress in his recovery. But considering his very serious head injuries, Dr. Jean-Francois Payen, one of Schumacher's medical staff stated that it may take years for Schumacher to recover. The best doctors and nurses are attending to the racer's needs 24/7.
Fans are hoping to get some updated reports on Schumacher's health condition since the family has been very particular about keeping their lives private in these moments. The good news is that the official Michael Schumacher website was relaunched last November to mark the 20th anniversary of the driver's first world championship. On the site, visitors can send messages to his wife and kids through the "How to Wish Michael Well".

Kira Grünberg, parapléjica tras una caída entrenando
La pertiguista austriaca sufrió una rotura en las vértebras cervicales mientras entrenaba y fue operada de urgencia para evitar daños mayores
La saltadora con pértiga austríaca Kira Grünberg, de 21 años, quedó parapléjica tras sufrir este jueves un grave accidente durante su entrenamiento, informó hoy la Federación de Atletismo de Austria (ÖLV) en un comunicado en su página web.
Grünberg, que con 4,45 metros durante los campeonatos de Europa de atletismo en Zúrich (Suiza) el año pasado se mantiene como plusmarquista de pértiga en su país desde el 12 de agosto de 2014, sufrió el jueves una caída en la que resultó gravemente herida.
Fue de inmediato ingresada en la Clínica de Innsbruck, capital del Tirol austríaco, donde "se constató una fractura de la columna cervical", explican los médicos que la atendieron en un parte reproducido en el comunicado de la ÖLV.
Ya antes de ser sometida a una intervención quirúrgica se le diagnosticó una paraplejia, tras lo cual un equipo de cirujanos traumatológicos la operó de inmediato para estabilizar las vértebras cervicales y evitar mayores daños, añaden.
