This story happened on September 16th, 1976 when he **was doing** his usual morning jogging along the embankment in the city of Yerevan in Armenia: a large trolleybus with 92 passengers **lost** control and fell into the freezing water. The trolleybus sank about 10 meters deep and most of the passengers couldn’t get out. Without a second of hesitation, Shavarsh **jumped** into the freezing water to rescue people.

One by one, he saved 20 people’s lives. After he **spent** nearly 20 minutes in the freezing water and after his 30th dive, Shavarsh lost consciousness. This courageous act **cost** him dearly: with a high temperature he stayed in hospital for 45 days. He finally recovered, but was never able to compete again. Today’s experts agree that no one but Shavarsh could have done what he has done.
