This is such crap - my phone won't work in Russia so I can't get updates on the comp!!! Oh well, best of luck to everyone, hopefully i'll get some internet here and there...

Cheers from St Petersburg,

I posted the starting list here:
Slovakia Freedive Team - Constant Weight, de? prvý

It's just for the men's competition, and sorry if I misspelled some names (had to type it from the paper list).

Today some of the deep guys did not bring tags back, but let's wait for the official results due in half an hour.

 

[Evita]

Exciting! How is the one-man-team doing?

Here's some results from day one:

I'm told there are ongoing protests though

 

[Goran Colak]

Tanx Simo!

First I was scared and confused... but then I realize it will be two days for constant

 

[Kaspermoth]

interesting results, I still miss some names though!, Where is Henning? (please tell me you reached 70) where is Maria? I cross my fingers for all of you!!!

 

[H.Balázs]

Nice results sofar! Good luck for the Slovakian Team (hope that Juraj will take the 100m), and for the Czech Team of course!

Regards,
Balázs

By the way, does anyone have the complete list of participants?

 

[rxcnc2]

Many many thanks for that Jome.... it's a pity that there's
nothing on the championships web site.

About the protests, I heard that Trubridge lost his (he had touched
several time the rope close to the turn-around point) and Carrera also
lost his (he had completed SP with 1" delay).
There was a protest against Guillaume for his SP, but it was rejected so
his result stands.

I grabbed the line 4 times, all around the 87-88m mark as I stalled with a sticky left ear. The night before a dive I generally review all the ways I can be penalised or disqualified and visualise what I need to do to avoid them. However this was something I wasn't familiar with, as I have never had problems equalising before on a target dive.
35 points penalty for a few fumbles on the rope is a bitter pill to swallow. It means I will have to work extra hard on the pool disciplines to try and recoup.

Will, on Guillaume's blog I see yesterday, the hard decision was taken to put you off the starting lists as the reserve. Now I see the situation changed and you are back in the race. What's going on exactly?

EDIT: err, sorry for the confusion, this was in fact for the other William :duh

Stay relaxed Will! The comp is long enough, and anybody can make failure or a huge performance as well, till the end.

Ohh man, thats tough, stay relaxed, don't let it phase you, but allow it to focus you ( not that someone like you can be anymore focused!)

All the best!!
