I have heard: 6.50 (6.40) Alexey
6.15 (6.20) Timo
5.50 Tom

But if there is a final, I guess everything can change.

Sorry I have written wrong... Alexi 6:50 but Timo 6:20 (by Sara...) but it doesn't matter...because final is tomorrow...let see who win that car

[island_sands]

Hi guys final is tomorrow unfortunately I cannot be there , there are 10 divers I believe, and I have asked nadim and alexei to send me sms with the results, I took loads of photos. Now on my way to east coast with students so will hopefully be online later

It was hilarious to see how everyone gatherd around to watch the "foreigners" - and there is rumour of putting foreigners separately next year to give locals a better chance of wiining

The prize is higher this year, 2nd prize is 30000 dhs and third prize is 20000 dhs!

[Billextreme]

There will be 3 over 7 min!

But will there be any 7:30?

Yes, sure, Tom should be able to push closer to 8 but is this his thing, hanging in a rope without suit? Timo will be very much ready, that we know, AND Alexey is better than he ever been before -
hmmm.

I put my 5 euro on Alexey!

....how many will there be in the final? - and who are the finalist?

/B

[EBBEH]

OK...I put 5 euros to Timo...I think that alexey did almost her maximum performance??!!

[BennyB]

It's hard to tell if someone was "pacing" themselves to get into the final or not.

My thoughts are that Alexey went hard early to secure a final spot and may not be able to push much further tomorrow, Tom may have done enough to get him to tomorrow then will go hard, and Timo may do the same. Tom should feel the cold a bit more than Timo, Tom's quite skinny and Timo has a little more padding, plus he's from Finland - as soon as they're South of Helsinki they dive sans wetsuits
My money's on Timo.

But it's hard to tell when you're staring at a laptop in North Acton!

Cheers,
Ben

Ps. Igor - has Stig done 10 minutes?? This is news to me.
