New WR in STATIC !!!

[michaell]

is there any information about Herberts constant weight record (111m)?

Congrats Herbert, incredible - especially the static...

 

[OceanMan]

Marcus, Herbert's coach told me that he was determined to get the record the next day, no matter how long it took, Turns out it was about 5 hours

Can you imagine trying to warm up and do a max static, then keep trying for 4 or 5 hours?????

Respect mate, well done!

What?
Did he really tried for 5 hours?
How many statics did he make?
Is that determination or what !?!

Tom sietas did 10'08'' static in a training last year.

Yes but training is different from attempting a WR with all the relevant officials.

Static is all about relaxing, and its often the case that in training, you can do a far better time with only your buddy watching, rather than with the pressure to perform.

That's certainly true. On the other hand having 5 hours with two international judges in the pool to do your record, like it was in this case, is also not something too common, and comparable to the stress at competitions, or usual record attempts. That told, I still value very highly the performance, definitely believe that Herbert deserves the record, and sincerely congratulate him. Nice seeing someone attacking Tom's records

BTW, there are rumors Tom actually very intentionally let disqualified himself at his last 9:30+ record (by letting him touch by celebrating colleagues). Not sure if is is true at all, but it was told that he plans the breaking of new records and their sponsoring rather carefully, and will not do a new record if there is no good reason for it. I hope now he has a good one

In Vancouver, I was Tom's spotter for the 9:24 static. He wore sunglasses and no nose clip and at around the 7 minute mark did touch a teammate. I think his motivation was to show that his rumoured 9 minute statics were not a rumour after all and also to relieve the pressure on the spot and raise interest for his official attempt.

Sounds like both Tom and Herbert have found an excellent way to train because they are driven to try everything. After all, Herbert's been at this for years and even when he wasn't setting records for a while, he still didn't give up.

Should be interesting to see Tom's response. I would expect him to break Herbert's mark fairly soon and fairly easily. You don't want to know how many statics Tom has done in the 9-10 minute range... :duh

ha, tricked some people by announcing many records and doing the least expected one.
... even fouled myself

thanx a lot for all your support!

HA´HA

Well you did do a new WR, but when will you do it again...
thanx for the laugh and have a great X-mass holiday, fly safe and good luck with the future freediving goals you have set for 2007.
I hope that it will be at least as good as 2006 was.
