Kristijan Kuravic WR attempt

[Alun]

he's going for 101m in constant weight, in Greece (Spetses Island) at an unspecified date
see... http://www.aida-international.org/announced_attempts.htm
that's quite a surprise! he seems to have come a long way in the last couple of years?! does anyone know any more?

I wish these guys would take it easy for a while and let me catch-up. 65 meters is almost mine, so I figure I'll make 102 by...about...well just lets stick to 65 for now. These guys are really pushing it, I wish them good luck.

Kuravic has been saying he wants to break the CW record since 1998 when he said he wanted to break Pelizzari's 75m record. He made an attempt on Herbert's 86m record; he was using bifins and only made it to 77m.

He's also the guy who had a serious blackout from -45m CW under ice.

Lets hope everything goes ok this time. Depths around 100m are not very forgiving..
Good luck for him.

He's going for 96m CW. The 101m attempt is FI.

I wish the man good luck.

For the record, I want to break the CW record too. But its not going to happen. Kuravic a lot closer than I am. Good luck Kristijan.

I asked Zeljko Vedris about the failed/cancelled attempts and he wrote back to me:

Logistics were bad as he told me. He reached 88m.
