They did not necessarily say that Silvia Da Pon should have been judged any differently from how she was; all they wanted was some sort of explanation on her three consecutive disqualifications.

hi
I think it is very sad for the freediving world that Italy do not compete anymore, they are probably the strongest nation in the world when in comes to freediving, and if the judges can't even explain why the heck they just disqualified someone then maybe they should seriously reconsider this rule.
cheers
