Why this was not applied for Stephane Mifsud' static apnea WR when he was disqualified after the judges said OK ??
Bringing up a tag for CNF is dumb. I think rules have to change. But we can't say that the next CNF WR should be done without a tag until the rules have officially changed. Otherwise it would discredit AIDA even more. It would be like saying to the athletes : just do what you want and then AIDA will have to change his rules to make the records look ok.
