Is this poll for men or women?
From rumours so far:
Men: UK, Canada, Japan and Germany should fight for top spots
Japan will likely have the deepest CW dives, with Ryuzo and Kaz probably being the deepest. The UK will also have very deep dives. Germany, in theory, should have 70m+ depths, but I'm not sure how they will cope with the conditions, they have very poor sponsorship wetsuits (nylon outside, very loose and baggy), and Hurbert & Tom Sietas are using bifins). However, this German team is the BEST static team ever assembled for any competition in the history of freediving (with pb's around 7'30", 7'35", 9'23")
Women: Canadian women are FAR in front of everyone else, only a DQ will prevent a victory (averaging the training results of the three canadian women gives an average CW depth of 52-53m and an average static time of 5'20+, with Mandy of course bringing up the average)
My predictions, in the absence of DQ's:
Men
1. Germany
2. Japan
3. Canada
4. UK
Women
1. Canada
