Hi Glenn

To bad you couldn't be here we realy had a great time. But I'm sure you will be here in July...

About the results... It's a mistery to me... Should have something to do with server chaching. They are back on lina again.

I definitely agree that penalizing would be wrong, but as far as I see on the video, the grabbing of the line in both cases came clearly still when the head was completely under water. I viewed the video in slow motion and frame by frame, and do not have any doubts about it. On the other hand, the video can be always inexact and the reality might have been different - however, that 's not the question here. The problem is the rule and the inadequate penalty. I believe that the rule and the penalty damage the sport, bring no advantage, leave space for misjudgments and result manipulation, and simply have absolutely no reason for existing. If you have your doubts about the rule, or if you are persuaded that it is correct and Stig and Peter ought to be penalized, make sure to cast your vote in http://forums.deeperblue.net/freediving-competitions/70378-dynamic-comp-rules-pulling-survey.html. Since there are also AIDA officials following the thread, hopefully a change can be made, if sufficient number of experienced freedivers express their opinion.

I don't have the UW video from Peter because we had only one UW camera and the cameraman was filming Stig at the time...

I still have some judge videos to upload nad I get some more pics tomorow and some more media footage. And thats about it then.
 
May I just say this is probably the most impressive handling of competition publicity I've seen (internet wise, which is really the only visible part outside of one's home country).

Really looking forward to the world champs!
 
Hi,
I wanted to download some ot the beautiful underwater videos on my computer, but didn't succeed, the firefox video downloader continued to repeat me that the URL was wrong. I could run them, but not download. Any idea what could be the problem?
Thanx,
Ivo
 
The problem is that you can not downloas the wvx file. Wvx file is needed for streaming and is also a kind of a simple precaution against downloading videos. :naughty

But actualy I didn't complicate too much so you can download videos if you change the link at the end when it says .wvx into .vmw. I would like to ask everybody that is downloading and maybe using this videos elsewhere to note that it was shot at MAD CUP 2007 and is the propperty of club H2O team. I hope its not too much to ask.
 
Thanks for your answer Sansan, i didn't know that, sorry
Anyway,my intention was not video piracy ... Since my internet access is limited by a flat rate, i just prefer to do the data transfer only once, that saves some MBs. And some of the videos on the MAD cup site I would like to rewatch again and again, they are good staff to learn from by seeing and comparing the different styles and techniques of the athlets. So, just for my very privat use ...
Thanks again for your hint,
Ivo
