To put it in perspective, whilst Branko was doing his static, a person could:
1) Cook a steak; then
2) Boil an egg; then
3) listen to Chopin's Minute Waltz.
Or, you could listen to the entire Lacrimosa EP by Kalafina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrimosa_(Kalafina_song)
Or they could just listen to the Minute Waltz 12 times
What else could one do in 12 minutes 11 seconds? I'm curious to hear...
I think he better try for a solid 12' first. You know the idea of 'going for it' is demanding.
And there is also a point to making it look solid for the camera. A heavy samba isn't exactly a tv promotion. I hope he'll have some HD camera's and enough lights to show his body, face, person and performance in a vibrant way.
To bad he's not allowed to wear heart-rate and O2 monitors*, so one could add those data to the recording. I would love to see more ways of monitoring of static, because it would help to show to people what is going on, what skills are employed.
Also a Branko voice over explaining his feelings and thoughts during the dive would be an awesome addition to the video. Actually if you mix in some visuals of Branko spearfishing I think it would make for a special compelling video.
*Allowing recording of heart-rate and O2 in AIDA rules would be helpful to the promotion of the sport. Off-cause I don't want athletes or coaches to be able to get cues from these devices while performing.
But it would add another way of cheating and more work for judges to monitor.
Yes, he is. He just must not have any direct or indirect (i.e. through the coach) access to the data during his performance. So having a HR/O2 recorder, without the watch, or with a blinded display and silenced alarms does not violate the rules.To bad he's not allowed to wear heart-rate and O2 monitors*,
IAAF competition rule #143 state:

Assistance to athletes
For the purpose of this Rule the following shall be considered assistance, and are therefore not allowed:
(c) pacing in races by persons not participating in the same race, by athletes lapped or about to be lapped or by any kind of
technical device.
(d) possession or use of video or cassette recorders, radios, CD, radio transmitters, mobile phone or similar devices in the arena.
(e) use of any technical device that incorporates springs, wheels or any other element that provides the user with an advantage over another athlete not using such a device.
Astonishing, I'm out of words! :duh
I hope you would set the official world record in a competition, that would be even more (if that's possible) respectable.
and it will be repeated on the competition in front of an A level judge
step by step ;-) at 7:30 was first contraction. as for you who are not able to open it I will post new one just to finish it. I am not a genius with computers :/
sorry
I hope that on this new video you will be able to see my face better
I wasn't even close to hypoxia, you will see it by my face, it is much better to get fully clean than on much bigger time with light samba, because it leaves bad impression and scares people which are not familiar with the sport
