Right:wow, great performances! I think only Natalia ever did more than 201m up to now
Too many fishes running out the 200m wall over the last years. Some of them are almost close to 300m! Awesome!
Today the Static apnea show-off competition was held - no medals, but WR could be set, and there were some stunning performances, especially considering Branko Petrović's result.
Men
1. Branko Petrović 9:32 CMAS STA WR
2. Seguro 8:06
Women:
1.Sophie Jacquin 6:38 CMAS WR
2.Georgette Raymond 5:37
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.
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.Still Goran has really put CMAS back on the freediving map, as have Branko and Ilaria.
