its all happening in Maribor eh? Masked gunmen, world records, vomiting competitors. Sounds like fun. Wish I could be there.
Great to see Carlos Coste back in the game.
Congrats Natalia! You are a legend!
Kiwi Kathryn - Great to hear you are doing well. Hope the rest of your party weren't too freaked by the masked gunmen. Means you guys won't be forgetting Maribor in a hurry though eh?
Best wishes to all the participators, wish I could be there too.

Poor Kathryn... I think she was having issues with nerves beforehand (was a pretty tense comp in parts), particularly seeing as this was her signature event. She got to about 112m and had a decent BO, the safety guy had trouble getting her up for some reason as well. She was pretty upset about the whole thing considering she's done plenty more before.
Hope you're okay Kathryn? Top marks for effort!
Hope there is someone taking some film of these happenings?

I was close to Stig, i recall him doing 5 min plus, maybe close to 6ish but he came up for some reason and didnt do the protocol. Antero was at the very end of the pool, cant say why he came up early...
Herbert also came up earlier than expected, according to him, in an interview at the pool after the performance due to the fact that he lost concentration when, right before the start, he had removed a second pair of trousers (to keep warm) messing up his concentration. Conclusion - never remove your pants before a big event, static or not
Tomek Bryl, Polish freediver ends up 2nd in STA, setting new National Record with 7'15" (7"08"previous and not mine)
Thousands of Polish freedivers are now marching celebrating on the streets of capital, Warsaw. Naked freediving mermaids are dancing and police squads sent by the goverment are very friendly and tolerant.
Not really (too bad) but here's what's going on

You rae so right. On the WC forum I used Sandis computor when I posted so I cant correct it there. In the external pressrelease we will hopefully have it corected in time.

Stig did 186 DNF! Wow that is huge. Big congratulations. :friday

Waiting at the airport as I'm typing now... As I was judging I really didn't have time to film the performances, but.... I did have time to take pictures and film for some hours during the party and after party! I think some people will find this also very interesting I will sort out all the pics later. You can expect some big updates tomorrow on my website. It was such a busy schedule and week it was hard to keep up.

Back at home in London now.... how depressing!

Will had a big samba indeed and the SP was not complete. Pitty, i think he deserved a place in the top 3 with consistent great performances.
On another note, the closing party was mad! when the pictures are out, you could see what i am talking about so i dont have to write thousends of words! In particular the Hyperventilating Freediver was absolutely hilarious!
