Hi all,
quick update on the record event today.

Tom started his static a bit after 12:30 in the morning after a brief breath up without any warm-up.

He held his breath and came up after 10:12 (official judge's time) (yes that is Ten minutes and Twelve seconds). Tom had a smile on his face was completed the SP within a few seconds without any signs of being stressed.

That was the nice news... the bad news is that this would have been a new world record ... unfortunately his safety diver / event organizer being excited having witnessed such an amazing performance grabbed Tom's arm to congratulate him a few seconds after he completed the protocol and prior to the judges announcing the performance as valid... This of course led to a DQ of this amazing performance...

Tom tried a second attempt a few minutes later but being tired and phyced out he came up after 7 minutes and decided to try again tomorrow...

So we will have to wait for tomorrow ...

Cheers Stavros
