Thanks :-) I just came from competition, and it was really nice. But unfortainly it didn't have WR status :( so I didn't push much, because it wouldn't be recognised as a WR. I am looking for some competition soon with WR status. If not I will set the event, but personaly,
for me the real results are the ones made at competition! That is the reason why I haven't set the event yet, I am hopeing to do it on copetition. :-)
Thanks to organisers, the copetition was great!

First It was great competition with grate atmospere betwen competitors which means a lot!
well my dive was not realy ususal because I am little sick, like a little flu. thats why I did't do dnf day before.
but still I got in the poll, and I did to warm ups but I started to fell really cold even I had 7.5mm pants up 3.5mm. so next 20 min, I spent on the edge of the pool with my girl bringing hot water in bottles and putting it on me to make me warm because I was shakeing. Then I just saw Mario the oficial saftey ,,saying come here you are mine,, :-) so i had like 3 min left so i was breading for like a 2 min quite fast because of lack of time, and did packing aboute 1 min.
First contraction started really earrly for me 6:08, but somehow I menaged to keep them uder control. even in some preriod to stop them, all together was one of my easyest dives ever, which should be opposite because of everythyng that was happening!
I said I do not want to be touched because my girl was my personal saftey, so I was giweing sings by my self. I joust wanted to beat record I set few days ago. just so people would not say ''he did it in his poll, his judges'' and that kind of stuff that are always coming out when ever the eventis organised :/
About coach, I have no coach, just when I have some doubts or need advice, I ask Vedrana for information, or Erric Fattah. :-)

Well I would say it's because you were a little ill and things went a bit wrong you dropped all of your expectations, that reduced the amount of 'calculating and measuring' in your mind, saving a lot of O2, that made it 'easy'.

I had the same sort of dive experiences, strange interesting and magical, but different numbers though ;)

I don't know but I still feel the WR static will remain for a while, simply because it's such a big gap to competition results. Anyway You're now in the 10+ club, a very very exclusive club with only a handful of members. I think that you may have already gone nr 1 in Ivo's absolute ranking. And I think the 10 + is the best static done in a static competition ever! :o

Congratulations!!!

Love, Courage and Water!

''I don't know but I still feel the WR static will remain for a while, simply because it's such a big gap to competition results.''

Agree, but then comes the question what is going to be with the current WR set on the attempts? because it is always easyer to set it on attempt than on competition. You can't yout erase those records, and again it will be hard for most to fight those records set on attempts.
