Ok timo kinnunen, alexei molchanov and nadim (last years winner) have arrived. Waiting for tom sietas. Peter Boivie has not yet arrived but he isd on the list. More later... Will take phoitos and upload tonight
So what do we have here:
- Nadim, guy that knows this discipline and can do 4 min spearfish dives.
- Timo K from Finland known high performer having done 7.45 in comp. Ranked 3rd in the world.
- Tom Sietas from Germany one of the three 10 minute guys in the world. Can hold his breath in stressfull situations in front of TV cameras.
- Alexey Molchanov from Russia. A happy go lucky breathholder who seems untouched by stress. But in this group with a 51st ranking and a 6.10 breathhold not good enough.
- Peter Boivie, swedish national record holder and bronze medal in last STA championship with a 7.10 breathhold time. Having held his breath in a fruitbowl on stage 100´s of times. Ranked 5th in the world.
And 200 additional athletes and the biggest prize in freediving history and no doping test. A delayed somewhat confused organisation. This beats and Blaine stunt - this is really interesting.

Tom just asked if it is OK to blackout.
Answer was apparantly: "Yes as long as you have your hand on the rope".
There will be no countdowns.
Second hand information.

PS The organization, I guess, are getting questions they are not use to get.
