Herbert Nitsch - new Dynamic World Record

Hi,

I just want to let you know that yesterday (2002-11-16) Herbert Nitsch set a new world record in dynamic apnea with fins. He achieved a distance of 183m in 2'01'' during the 5th German Night Apnea (open competition in Berlin, Germany). That is 2m more than his old record. The record has not yet been officially recognized because Herbert still has to pass a doping test. So right now it's still unofficial.

Herbert won the competition with:
6'20'' static
183m dynamic
15'25'' 16x50m

I made 2nd place with:
6'17'' static
155m dynamic
15'29'' 16x50m

3rd place went to Peter Peterson from Denmark:
5'03'' static
165m dynamic
13'58'' 16x50m

4th place went to Stig Severinson from Denmark:
6'11'' static
164m dynamic
17'??'' 16x50m

Official results will be released soon on the homepage of AIDA-Germany (www.aida-deutschland.de).

Thumbs up Congrats Max.

Second to Herbert is almost like being the first.

say, what are those figures -15'25'' 16x50m mean?
Did you and Herbert use bi-fins or a mono? were both allowd?

16x50m

16x50m = 16 consecutive 50m dynamics as fast as possible

The fastest I've heard is around 13'00.

How did they score your points for the 16x50m?

16x50m

I think the scoring used for 16x50m is 50 points for 20'. Then they use some kind of math formular to calculate the points for the results less than 20' and more than 20'.

Here is a link to the results from last year's competition (4th German Night of Apnea):
http://www.aida-deutschland.de/wettk...1/ber1101e.htm

There you can compare the resulting times with the resulting points. Maybe you can figure out the math formular this way.

The fastest in a competition I've heard was Jens Berger last year with 13'36''.

I know that Jean-Michel Pradon is very fast, too.

Who has done it in about 13'00''?

Mono or Bi-Fins

To answer the question of DeepThought:
All of the mentioned top 4 athletes used a monofin.
But there were also a few athletes who used bifins, thus both were allowed.

800 meter of dynamics in 13 mins??
Not baaaad.
hmmm I guess that you can breath in between the laps as much as you like? otherwise it sounds even more superhuman...

yes, you can breath as much as you like between the laps but the time keeps on running so actually you breath just as much as you need to recover to do another 50m.

good divers take a rythm of 60'' or less per lap.

it's definitly no fun if you try to do it as fast as you can but it's good training.

a question for Max Dream

Congratulations, I am stunned with your result
I am diving for 2 and a half years now, relativly recreationaly.
Anyway i am in the pool 3 times a week, following my own training program.
My PB s are: 75 m no fin dynamic
110 m bi fin dynamic
04:55 wet apnea
I never used a mono fin, and i wonder how much length could i get with good technique using a mono fin?
And i was wandering if you could share with me or us on the deeperblue forums some facts about your training program, if that is not classified, of course
Thank you very much!

Mario
