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.
Well most of the Brits have just left and we STILL don't know where we came at the end... so the scores are not up even here, don't expect it on the web soon!

Top 3 Men 1 Denmark, 2 Czech 3 France
Women 1 Russia, 2 Sweden 3 Canada

and that's all we know

Closing Ceremony consisted of lots of thank yous, a not exactly huge applause for the organiser and I left when the Russian strippers came back on...

Benny B, Liv and Tim saw the sun come up and have just got on a bus to the airport looking slightly green!

Welcome to the [FONT=times new roman, courier, arial]6th AIDA Freediving Team World Championship 2007[/FONT]. Let us kick off with the final results of the last years' competition that has just been issued by the organisers! ;o))))
 
Sam,
So there actualy was a closing ceremony without the results beeing available ??? So they only told you who where the price winners or what ?
Hmmmm. Must be me but I am lost.
 
Jome:
Could you send AIDA your 'ResultsMachine' (or something alike) program? Only now I start to understand how great it is to have our national competition's results on the web about 2min after the judges have given the card... If I remember correctly, in the last Underground Apnea competition there was someone with no prior experience in programming or apnea competitions punching in the results as they came in, and there were constantly people on-line viewing the results.

This is getting way beyond hilarious, tragicomic or depressing, and it is becoming downright frustratingly irritating.

the only organisation that tried in any way to do it properly was CAFA with the Vancouver Worlds in 2004. Every other organisation has zero or less than zero interest in helping the FreeDiving public know what is going on.

That is a very anglo-etno-deeperblue-centrian way of seeing the world.
Lots of smaller competitions publish quick results - and NORDIC DEEP (2nd biggest this year) published results within 4 hours and written reports within the day. And off course this is just a way of giving my own organization a compliment

After 28 hours still no results!
That is so ridiculous. I am totally furious!


The German Results from our Website:
Heidi Heidenreich: 83 m
Barbara Jeschke: 112 m
Katja Kedenburg: 107 m
Andy Gülldner: 122 m
Ulli Wulf: 119 m
Oli Haugk: 124 m
 
28 hrs ??? they have nt updated the offcial website since the 22 of Nov soo why even bother now when they have the actual time to do it and especially when they cant use the Phrase.... - we are to busy with the comp and dont have time or recources at the moment.

I agree completly it's ridiculous!
 
I wrote an email yesterday to the organisers of the Indoor World Championships 2007 to be held in Maribor, Slovenia...in July 2007! Let alone the website is already tiptop updated with load of information, on top of it, i got a reply to my enquiry within one hour! That's for a competion to be held months away...food for thoughts.
 
And there are those in the freediving community that want to see Freediving has worldwide exposure and eventually become part of the Olympics, or at least be taken seriously as a Olympic calibre sport....

Mwahahahahahahahahaaha rofl rofl rofl

as if....
 
It's really too bad, since all the athletes involved have gone to great lengths and great expense to be there.
 
I know that the Canadian women are thrilled. They didn't expect to place at all.

Mandy set a new national record in dynamic 129m. Jade did 108m, I think. And then Jill Yoneda, a first time WC competitor, did 128m with a skin of her teeth samba that was protested by the French team. Only one metre and a few more 02 molecules behind Mandy. She managed to do her SP in 14 seconds! Apparently, everyone was yelling at her to come back to the world of the conscious.

Whether you agree with the new SP or not, it's high drama!
 
Eero: thats been the plan sort of, unfortunately I havent had the time or motivation to really polish it enough - basically the whole thing needs a rewrite.

Im hoping that someone with some programming skills will take the idea and develop it a bit further

The Freedive central has the right idea IMO...
 
This what I was told were the Finnish Dyn results:
MEN:
Jyri V 167
Antero J 135
Timo K 128

WOMEN:
Johanna N 149
Susanna S 149
Sirpa P 111

Hmm, I'm surprised the womens team didn't rise higher in the ranks with those results...:/
 
That the organizers are unable to give us the information is bad. That is however well-known since longer. But that the AIDA-board nevertheless was unable to send the results is incomprehensible.
 
guys i can solve this, if you all sign a memo nominating me as your corresepondent and paying for my trip i will be happy to help rofl rofl

There were AIDA judges at the World Championships, I assume. I also assume that the same AIDA judges would record performances so that they can deduct penalties or arbitrate protests.

It's a little pathetic - in Vancouver, the organizers, Tom Lightfoot in particular, busted their asses to get results out fast and accurately, even before the party on the last day.

What a joke!
