Horror as Shark Chews off Half of British Woman’s Bicep – She Survives by Doing 1 Thing | Express
In an interview on ITV’s This Morning to mark Shark Awareness Day on Tuesday (July 14), Ms Fairlamb said she was targeted by the creature which moved like a “bullet” whilst she was freediving with her coworkers. Recounting what happened that day to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, the scientist said she “just noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye”, as the reef shark “whipped around quite quickly”. Ms Fairlamb said the creature’s style of swimming “changed completely and she just very directly moved efficiently like a bullet almost towards me”, adding that she knew it was probably going to “end with a bite”.
After sinking its teeth into her upper arm, the shark “shook” her. Though such an attack is the stuff of nightmares for most people, the animal lover said she felt calm, and remembered the advice of fellow shark attack survivor Mick Fanning about striking the eyes, nose and gills of the marine beast, which are sensitive areas.
It worked and the shark released her. After that she said her thoughts were “next step, oxygen, up to the surface and then the next step, get out of the water because there’s blood in the water”.

Aussie Olympian Is Left in Shock After Discovering She’d Run a Marathon With a Broken Leg | MSN
Running a marathon takes serious preparation both physically and mentally and that can take a serious toll on the body.
Much of the marathon also involves pushing through the wall, a physical and mental pain barrier.
And no one knows more about pushing through pain to finish a marathon than former Olympian Brianna Throssell.
The 2020 Olympic gold medallist in the pool decided to take up running to fill all the free time she had after her retirement from swimming in 2024.
Like most elite athletes, it didn’t take Throssell long to become obssesed with another hobby, as she aimed to complete the Gold Coast marathon.
But that came at a physical cost to the Olympian, whose body had broken down under the pressure of running that it was not used to, as she suffered a fracture to 40 per cent of her femur.
