Fernando Alvarez held his own minute's silence in Budapest after his initial request was rejected
Separate attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils have so far killed 14 people, with over 100 more injured.
Alvarez competed in the Masters World Championship in Budapest over the weekend and requested for a minute's silence to be held ahead of the 200m breaststroke race.
His plea was rejected by the International Swimming Federation.
But Alvarez took matters into his own hands in an incredible moment before the race.
