Hi guys final is tomorrow unfortunately I cannot be there , there are 10 divers I believe, and I have asked nadim and alexei to send me sms with the results, I took loads of photos. Now on my way to east coast with students so will hopefully be online later
It was hilarious to see how everyone gatherd around to watch the "foreigners" - and there is rumour of putting foreigners separately next year to give locals a better chance of wiining
The prize is higher this year, 2nd prize is 30000 dhs and third prize is 20000 dhs!

There will be 3 over 7 min!
But will there be any 7:30?
Yes, sure, Tom should be able to push closer to 8 but is this his thing, hanging in a rope without suit? Timo will be very much ready, that we know, AND Alexey is better than he ever been before -
hmmm.
I put my 5 euro on Alexey!
....how many will there be in the final? - and who are the finalist?

It's hard to tell if someone was "pacing" themselves to get into the final or not.
My thoughts are that Alexey went hard early to secure a final spot and may not be able to push much further tomorrow, Tom may have done enough to get him to tomorrow then will go hard, and Timo may do the same. Tom should feel the cold a bit more than Timo, Tom's quite skinny and Timo has a little more padding, plus he's from Finland - as soon as they're South of Helsinki they dive sans wetsuits
My money's on Timo.
But it's hard to tell when you're staring at a laptop in North Acton!
Cheers,
Ben
Ps. Igor - has Stig done 10 minutes?? This is news to me.

Everyone came up VERY clean. Tom had to get medical attention cos he cut his toe on the bottom on something :crutch and then endured the pain for the rest of the dive!
Tom came up as clean as a whistle and didn't even do recovery breaths, it looked an absolute breeze. Alexei the same, timo and peter too. Nadim did better than last year, he has been starving himself the last week in prep for the comp and looked emancipated. He might have more up his sleeve for tomorrow but I don't think a lot more.
Alexei was in his speedo much to the delight of lots of females he was looking very fit indeed.

Yeah...In here Finland is normal that people go ice swimming...they say that it is healthy...(I think that I have born in wrong city...because I get cold purely by thinking cold water
)
Very interesting competition and good performances in a hard circumstances! Does anyone know when the finals start?
Here in Finland keeping thumps up for Timo ofcourse!!!
BTW: What was Molchanovas pb in competitions before this event?
Sietas also showing that he's a though guy and can perform in competition too!

Yep,- we are dying to know here,- this thread has been nail-bitingly exciting to follow during the live comeptition-feeds. Just what I needed to make a couple of dreary Elecrtonmicroscope session fun ;-)
Cheers and let us know as soon as you can.. Martin

OMG OMG Tom 8.25,alexei 7.48,timo 6.12
That's all the detail I have but its amazing!!!!! I told tom yesterday that I knew he was hiding the extra three minutes up his sleeve! rofl
Its absolutely fantastic, also considering the guys don't have their normal preparation before static etc

I just can not belive the first two results are true. Some more informations would be great. How were the holding the line? Did they somehow managed to attach themselves to the line and still be perfectly relaxed.... Really amazing.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Amazing result from Tom!!! With that he'd have won most of the "ordinary" static competitions! It's har to believe...huh, huh...
And Molzhanova too, absolutely amazing! I suppose this was his pb too in competition (?)
Sad, that Timo didn't succeed as well as in the semifinals, but well done anyway, well done, Timo!
Waiting for some video stuff from the event...
