Mariló Montero

wanted to risk it, she wanted to show

El Desafío

that if

Rosa López

had set a record in the history of the freediving test, she could too.

And she was about to achieve it if it wasn't because the trainer and apnea expert who always accompanies the contestants in this risky test had to stop her and force her to go outside: "Get your head out, Mariló! Get your head out." head! Please don't argue with me."

The journalist and presenter, who since the beginning of this edition of

El Desafío

has tried in every possible way for the jury to value her efforts to carry out and pass the tests, managed to remain underwater for 4:08, just 32 seconds less than the feat achieved by

Rosa López

last week.

But if last week Rosa López

's apnea

shocked the spectators, jury and colleagues,

Mariló Montero

's last night shook them.

Juandi

, the coach who is in charge of preparing the contestants for the complicated test, began marking the steps and controlling Mariló Montero's breathing and movement, as he always does with them.

Everything was going well.

Mariló Montero

exceeded 3 minutes,

Juandi

was telling him how good the time was and how well he was doing, but when there were 15 seconds left to overcome the 4-minute barrier, Juandi realized that the time had come for him to

Mariló Montero

gets out of the water and finishes one of the most dangerous tests of

El Desafío

.

However,

Mariló Montero

seems not to listen to him and remains under the water.

Juandi continues to insist.

"Don't breathe out yet. Don't squeeze," she warns him.

Mariló continues submerged in the tank.

Juandi insists:

"Come on, Mariló. Stick your head out! Stick your head out! Mariló, don't argue with me. Come out

. "

But for a few seconds, exactly until those 4:08 minutes, Mariló Montero does not expel the air and does not rise until he leaves the water.

"What is drowning, what is under water!"

, Rosa López yelled from the stands, while the rest of the teammates held their breath, shocked by how Mariló Montero

had played it

.

Finally, Juandi grabbed his arm and it was he who took the journalist out of the tank.

"Juandi has taken her out, if she doesn't stay there inside her

," said a worried Ana Guerra.

Outside, composed and in tears,

Mariló Montero

, always very demanding with his tests, assured that "he could have endured more."

The applause of a stunned audience was thunderous, even the coach couldn't hold back his tears.

"You don't know how happy it is to see yourselves on land

," said

Mariló Montero

, already outside the tank.

Even

Roberto Leal

couldn't help but get excited and dedicate some valuable words to him that reflected the hard time he put them through: ""We come from a brand like the one Rosa achieved in 4:40, which is truly crazy.

But,

it's that now you come and do 4:08, which seems like an equal outrage to me

".

"In my head I had 20,000 things. With meditation I have done an exercise that was to pick up a pink ball, because the pink ball inspires me health, with the left I have grabbed it, but then a gray cloud came over me, but at the same time a light. And

I have begun to think about diving and my children

. My daughter, my son, my daughter, my son, my daughter...", explained the presenter.

It was the turn of the jury.

Pilar Rubio and Cristina Pedroche

, the guest last night and who also did a spectacular artistic number with a suspended hoop, could not help crying, while

Juan del Val

praised the journalist to the highest: "

It is the first time that, Really, Juandi has to take out a contestant.

He has literally taken her out of the water, because if she hadn't stayed, it has been wonderful to have you on this program."

Santiago Segura

, the most feared judge and the most lethal of

El Desafío

, finished off

, affirming that "he had disarmed him."

"It seemed so difficult for me to get emotional again with this test, and I think that you are a person who gets something into your head and be very careful with yourself. I was also very surprised by the strength that you have exerted by resisting

Juandi

by taking you out. I believed that you wanted to stay there to live.

Congratulations".

Mariló Montero

, who since the beginning of

El Desafío

has always had a thorn in her for not being the winner, could not help but be moved by the words of the judges and by the cheers of her colleagues who continued to hallucinate with the strength of

Mariló Montero

and with the risk he had taken.

As

Juan del Val

pointed out in the three seasons that

El Desafío

has run , Juandi has never had to take anyone out of the apnea tank, nor alert anyone that he had to get out now.

How could it be otherwise, Mariló Montero became the winner of the night, getting three tens from the judges, and finished off a night overflowing with emotion with a few words to her mother, who died of ALS: "I remember so much about my mother now. This is for her.

I dedicate this entire program to my mother

. I wanted to rationalize the death of my mother, although she passed away a long time ago, but I do everything and live, I live for and for her. "
