Live from Egypt 2006

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
on being asked about the last 30-40 m when he was ascending very fast and made people worry... he said very litle but along the lines of being worried, legs pushing at 150% and he made it
 
ok guys thanks for the cool comments you gave me, it was nice for me too to be able to help...

Reactions: laminar
marwan thanks again was great to follow it wonder would the chat room have made it any easier to follow ?
 
Way to go Herbert, nice job.
See you back in Austria.

@Vroni
How's it going in germany? Hope everything is fine...
 
Thanks Marvan, finally a day with real live report and no stress about the results!
What a day!
Go Czechs, go!
 
When there is an organisation hosting a WC in freediving and they've got cams all over the place and an Official website , and there is a Private person sitting in Egypt at home watching tellie and that person is the only link to live reporting via DB then something is very very wrong.

Strong effort by you Marwan , but there is no way Im going to say that the staff down in Makadi Bay have done the jobb expected off them.

Lots , lots of thnx 2 you Marwan !
 
Can anyone find or compile a standings list? Top 5 teams would be cool.

Pete
 
Awesome job reporting, marwan. I like the suspense you created with your posts.
 
Laminar,

The Men's team standing (top 5 team) are:

1. CZE 240p
2. JPN 224p
3. FRA 220p
4. FIN 211p
5. DEN 206p

UK and Oz results from today

Benny B - alias Team Australia - 52m in a borrowed fin! Go Benny B!!!

Hannah Stacey - UK - 47m, very nice
Tim Money - UK - BO but tough on Tim as this was his third attempt at going out to dive thanks to organiser f*** ups.

Static tomorrow and the training has been going very nicely thank you for both the UK and Oz..... exciting stuff


I don't think the rest of the comp is being televised so we'll try and post when we can

Quickly cross referensing dq's and yellow cards with the list Stavros made yesterday, it would seem that the top5 are:

1.CZE 240
2.JPN M 224
3.FRA M 220
4.FIN M 211
5.DEN M 206

1.RUS W 193
2.SWE W 179
3.JPN W 176 ??
4.CAN W 165
5.FRA W 158

Not sure about japan...There was a yellow, but how many points did they loose?

Anyway, this assuming that the original list was counted properly...

Finland is looking good considering that CWT is the teams weakness... And I wouldn't be surprised if the Finnish women's team will inch up there in the top 5 after pool disciplines are done. But I'll have to be unpatriotic and guess that Denmark or CZE will take the gold...Denmark has basically 3 potentially 200+ dynamics coming up, which will be hard to beat. But it will be exciting and tough...Still 6 performances to go in each team and just one slipup and they're out of the race for the top spots...

Thanks Marwan for your Live reporting!

Pitty I cannot find an internetstream of the Nile sports tv on the web.

I hope that somehow someone makes contact with the NILE Sport TV crew and arranges a tape/dvd of all the Freediving footage, so we can spread that through websites or p2p like Bittorrent, Or just copy DVD arround to all the team captains.

Anyway I'm very intrested in the pictures and offcause into Herbert's dive. How long was it? Did he wear fluid google's/noseclip? A printout of his diveprofile?

Can someone do a quick Interview with Herbert for DB? -what's his secret? No Girlfriend? ;-)

Anyway it's nice to hear this positive news! Bill's remarks about the two other pools have me, and I hope my Girlfriend over there too, recover our positiveness, and focus. Though I find 16-18c extremely cold! As people have remarked to me before, I shiver like having a samba BEFORE diving under...

Thanks for the AIDA Judges who are putting so much effort in to make it a WC worthy event.

Love, peace and water,

Kars
 
I don't think anyone is gonna get any footage for free!! seems very important to the organisers to be able to sell it for big bucks.
 
Wow, this thread really is live. Excellent job, Marwan. Thanks!
