Thanks, Jiri, for the detailed info. 50m in 21.89s with bi-fins, that's incredible! Are you sure the judge did not misread his stopwatch? My amazement goes not only to the freedivers, but also to those who counted and measured the laps and entered the data into the spreadsheet. I am not quite sure if it is not even harder than the actual swimming!

So, am I right that the previous record (though probably not supervised by Guinness) was 94km held by the Fins? Or was there any other record? It would mean beating it by almost 30% (more than 27km)! Do you know how many they were swimming in the 24hr relay? (Jome, if you check in, please let us know)

Looking forward to the video. I searched on the website of the Czech TV, but although news are available online, for some reason they do not include the sport block.

Seeing the stats will be certainly interesting too

Thanks, and congrats!
Ivo

EDIT: I will ping Sara - I think this event is worth of a news article on DB. And also Bill Stromberg will likely want to add it to his page of diverse records at Apneamania
