Mifsud plans a new static record in the next few days. It should be aired live on Saturday, at 15:00 during the Salon de la Plongée in Paris. He apparently does regularly +10 minutes in training, so it will be almost certainly an attempt to break the barrier "officially". Well, I am keeping it in quotes, because Mifsud not being an AIDA fan, will certainly not let it supervise by AIDA judges, but rather just by the French federation FFESSM (CMAS), although as at some previous records, it will certainly not stop him for claiming the world record .
On the other hand I see on FFESSM's website an article about a new agreement between AIDA and FFESSM (CMAS), where they now recognize each others freediver, instructor, and judge licenses. So if FFESSM judges are recognized as AIDA's own ones, the record should be actually ratified by AIDA too (assuming AIDA rules were respected). Or am I wrong?
EDIT: I just realized, there would have to be two AIDA foreign judges so that it can be recognized as a world record, and I am not sure if it is likely there even if FFESSM judges are present.
