No WR status on the competition?

We will see 250 within a year.

Re: Dave Mullins swims 234 mtrs DYN - new NR

I find not only the performance absolutely impressive, but also the way it was announced - without claiming a world record and without even mentioning it. That's in a strong contrast to Stephane Mifsud who danced with a giant board claiming a world record of 213m DYF, although being aware that it never can be certified as such (and knowing there was already a 215m German national record). My deepest respect goes to the athlete and his colleagues for both the performance and the modesty.

Re: Dave Mullins swims 234 mtrs DYN - new NR

Watts, there is footage. Unfortunately from the surface not underneath (I think the floater in the pool the day before put the videographer off)

Will post the footage in the next day or two.

Trux,

"That's in a strong contrast to Stephane Mifsud who danced with a giant board claiming a world record of 213m DNF,"

You always wrote DNF , that is not true!!!

Dave!

You are amazing!

Argh, yes sure, you are right it was DYF, not DNF. I do not know why I mixed it up, because I know well it was with fins. Sorry for that.
