Any news yet? Heard both Eva and Elisabeth did HUGE numbers (145 and 150), but know not much more. And Wolle, did you make videos again?

[wolleneugebauer]

Weine did a new swedish record in dynamic with fins 177m and is the winner of the competition.
Sorry, but I have no result lists. Yesterday night the organizer told me that the result list would be online. But I can not find it.

Well done Elisabeth, Eva and Weine!!

Wow - 4 ladies over 130m? Better pick up my game I think....

[osusim]

Well, girls were better than boys! In drinking also

Damn, dynamics and drinking were my only strongpoints too

Excellent photos, thanks

Yes always nice to see Eva and Elizabeth swim, they seem to be stable at their level and close to each other in points, thats always exciting out of an audience point of view. And again Elizabeth is sligthly ahead of Eva:
Fridykning

Wolle did an impressive 139 with bifins and if if wasnt for his "mental absence" after surfacing in STA 7.32 (DQSP) and a pull on the edge after surfacing in DYN (-10p), he would have been right behind Weine with 160 points (two points after).
I guess it takes Severinsen or Per Westin (who lost his dyn record) to beat "power weine". Or off course that german guy who can hold his breath forever might do the job :-)

It was impressive to see Barbara (?) do a dynamic bifins 126 meters in around three minutes. Not even slow Wolle or ultra slow Mikael asp (the quick 16x50 swimmer) came close to that. Asp tried some ultra slow technique that looked more like static the first 50 meters.

Deepdiver Andy on a hard KAMPFSCHWIMMER military education seemed quite tired. Not reaching his AP 100 in dyn. The guy can do 80 in depth, isnt that suppose to be 150 in pool?

Four athletes lost 10 points each for grabbing the each before surfacing. Thats 20 meters in penalty.
I think this rule should be changed - its actually a natural part of freediving to secure oneself for balance when coming up. Even to stretch for a safe point (as Herbert has pointed out aswell). Its just one of those ruleviolations that judges see but media/audience (the day we get one) just will be puzzled by.

Nice to see the apnea in Berlin is working together with a CMAS club (NTV) lots of assistants an very well organized.

[martin_gk]

Can someone please tell me what that Danish liquor was that Kasper kept pouring into my glass? What the hell is it made of and where can I get a bottle?

Weine must know, he had a good part of it...

[wolleneugebauer]

I have to accept and to respect all decision from the judges.
I am a competitor and they are the rules.
What happened after my performances you can see himself:

Sorry Sebastian. Your decisions wear right, but this was my first experience with this rule in dynamic. For 10cm I've got 10 points minus. ( = 20m DYN = 10m CW = ~ 55 sec STA). That was new for me and is really hard.

[BennyB]

I don't particularly like that rule either.

But think yourself lucky Wolle - Wal Steyn did the same thing in competition after a 200m DYN and was DQ'ed. I guess everyone there at the time was hazy on the rules

Cheers,
Ben

Nice reporting all, great results, I see that everyone has been training.

I'm very happy to see that Elisabeth finally got her 150 down in the books!
Eva did great again, as well as Britt. Igor, man, what did you do? I see a 5:36, that's about more than a half minute over you previous water PB just 3 months old, have you found a new source within you?

Congradulations Weine, It's great to see you're starting to get up to the 200m regeon. And Wolle, great video's, you always make me smile with your 'Je ne sais quoa?' look

I hope to meet you all later up this year at some event, I'm planning on organising one myselve somewhere the end of may and was wondering if anyone has an international Freedive agenda where I can pick a good dat so to not disturb any other events and plannings?

Ciao, ciao,

Kars
