3rd day update
Today Tom topped his recent record by an incredible 20 seconds for a total time of 8'47''. Both judges (Laporte and Nagel) gave him an ok on his performance.
Tonight there'll be another official attempt. It's unlikely that he'll top his time again because there will be a party, and the attempt is more like a show for the guests.

unglaublich!
That's a big step from 8:24, and even a bigger one compared to 8:06. Wow!
I cannot wait for Tom's own words. Doing so many Max statics in so few day's must be really exausting.
Hope to see you all in Hemmoor!
Keep dreaming,
Kars.
ps. Maybe he get's so relaxed in the show, because the record is already secure, that he may surprice himself, judges, AND audiance.

First, the website isn't updated every hour nor every day.
Second, it's likely other jurymembers will watch the video a couple of times for making sure the judgement is correct.
Be patient, and watch Deeper Blue, the latest news get's here fast!

Thanks!
I always seem to misread people's registration date as the date of the post. Thus, I thought these posts were kinda old.
Also, I only started looking for the world record today. So it's kind of a coincidence with Tom's timing. A lot of the searches I did today landed me on sites that were older and showed current records (for 1990, etc)
Plus the 12:47 record keeps popping up. (But he was toking on 100% pure O2, first)

8'47'' was Tom's best official attempt. His last attempt on the party was 8'16''.
The judges were very impressed with his overall performance. No surprise if you consider that all five official attempts were 8'12'' or more.
12'47'' with pure O2 isn't that impressive. So far I only tried one static on pure O2, and I surfaced after 14'24'' because the high CO2 level felt kind of strange. Tom did more that 16' on pure O2. I'm sure with a little training the body can get used to those high CO2 levels. 20' should be no problem.

The value that Lindholm calculated was 9'34", which he described as the rough maximum for an adult male who holds his breath without hypothermia, and without 'esoteric yoga techniques' such as controlling the heart, etc...
Using the minimum metabolic rate common to all mammals, one giant breath would last a human 6 hours. So Tom's 9'23" is still far from the limit.
