Swimmer Diana Nyad’s fourth attempt to swim from Cuba to Florida came to a disappointing end this morning when her crew pulled her from the water. She suffered storms, jellyfish stings and threats by sharks. She didn’t want to give up, but her crew decided she couldn’t continue. She was in rough shape when she emerged from the Atlantic.
