Oli had just finished photographing Anita Alvarez's programme and was about to select his photos for transmission when he saw the swimmer's coach, Andrea Fuentes, dive into the pool.
"I first saw the coach diving into the pool and it surprised me. I then looked at the control screen on my remote control box at the bottom of the pool to see what was happening underwater. And that's when I realised that Anita Alvarez was sinking. The next few seconds were really upsetting because I didn't know what state she was in".
AFP photographer Ernesto Benavides won first prize in the “Photography" category for "Las Heridas de Sendero Luminoso: la matanza de Lucanamarca" (The Wounds of the Shining Path: the Lucanamarca massacre). The IAPA rewarded him "for revealing, through images of extraordinary strength and deep human content, the impact of the murders of the Shining Path guerrilla group in Ayacucho, Peru, on the memory of its survivors."
