Too many fishes running out the 200m wall over the last years. Some of them are almost close to 300m! Awesome!

Strange, that this result received so little attention. It has to be one of the best performances in competition of all times. If not the best? Anyway: congratulations to Branko.

I think best result in competitions so far was something like 9:04..

Maybe people didn't read the thread because the title doesn't suggest this news(completely misleading) or just feel alienated from CMAS
usually there's no respect for CMAS results on DB forums, just remember when Goran Colak made the best result in DYN on WCh in Aarhus(AIDA & CMAS results combined), but people were mostly talking of AIDA results, which were about 15m shorter.

true, very little attention... seems like many other freediving hot subjects (aida sled diving, aida WCs...) receive little attention in the past couple of months...

is interest in freediving falling or is it just the holiday season?

I read DB on a daily basis and missed the new STA results completely! So its probably due to the header.

I don´t think Gorans results were overlooked intentionally. Lot´s of people here has been competing for AIDA for many years so the CMAS results kinda got lost in the mass. Still Goran has really put CMAS back on the freediving map, as have Branko and Ilaria.

I think that besides the athletes, the main thanks goes to the current president of the Apnea Commision of CMAS Levent Ucuzal who revived the dying discipline at CMAS, and effectively abolished the discriminative rule of banning AIDA competitors at CMAS events. And also to all those who promoted the cooperation of both federations in the past - the organizers of joint competitions (like Marseille Open, or Europe Evolution Cup). I think also the former president of AIDA, Bill Stromberg deserves some credits for his actions in this field. And then thank to the national federations who supported their freedivers regardless if they competed under CMAS or AIDA (I can speak for example for the FFESSM and the French AIDA who cooperate very nicely). And I hope that the global ranking at Apnea.cz that lists results of all freediving federations helps to eliminate the barriers among the federations too.

I think that today there are only very few national CMAS federations who still punish their freedivers for participating on AIDA events. So far I am aware only of the Italian FIPSAS, but let's hope that the reason prevails on the Apennine peninsula soon too.

In any way, congrats to all for their great results!
