There is no information about it online yet, so possibly not official, but I have just learned that the competition that traditionally comes as one of the first in the calendar year, the Coupe des Dauphins of Geneva, Switzerland, was cancelled. Quite a pity, because it was always a very good, and well organized competition, with many high level competitors.

Besides it, the last year we saw a magician doing statics, and not being far from ending in the official AIDA record tables

Let's hope the Dauphins club will manage to organize the competitions in 2011.
 
Damn, too bad! I planned to do my first pool competition during this event... bummer.
 
Yes, I was looking forward to it too. Last year I was also registered, but had to cancel because of being ill. I hoped to start the year better in 2010. Well, let's wait for official confirmation. I've got the info from people who called them after the first gossips have spread, but perhpas there still may be a chance to get it back (althgouh allegedly the organizers denied such possibility, on the phone)
 
january 23: dynamic freediving competition in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Streaming underwater images, online stopwatches, etc.

Trux, you're free to stay at my house if you want to come!

Wow, thanks for the invitation, Jorg! I'll tell you soon. It is a much longer and a more tiring trip for me, but it sounds tempting. BTW, we have been around 15 from our club, who were registered for the Coupe des Dauphins. Hope you have enough room in your house Just kidding - I know the others won't come - we all registered for Geneva, because it is very close to Lyon, and we can easily come on the day of the competition.
 
Coupe des Dauphins was perhaps the most consistent and longest standing competition. Not good that it has ended. Could it be politically related ?
 
Well, I cannot tell. All I heard is that it was cancelled because there were actually not enough people to organize the event (if anyone at all). So it looks like the people who used to organize it, either could not, or did not want to do it this year. But since they opened the registration at Freedive Central just 4 weeks ago, it looks like in that time they still believed they could organize the event. They removed it from FC only today.
