[trux]

There is a video here:

William Trubridge bate el récord del mundo de inmersión libre: 100 metros a pulmón en 4'10'' - RTVE.es

 

[manalive!]

Absoloutely superb, a true legend!!!!!

Does he have a little samba there?

 

[Goran Colak]

Big congratulations for this dive, monster dive.

But in my book this is double OK sign... NHF

Another amazing video (including te descent phase) here: Suunto TV

Yep i think too that the exit wasn't total clean it had a little samba but i mean really light one it was conscious, but we'll see. I think that after 100m like that having a little samba like that is somthing that do not count at all. still impressive. Also there was a judge there so if she gave him white card no complain at all accepted.

 

[trux]

Well, samba is not a problem as such as long as the protocol is properly done. The double sign could be indeed a problem, regardless of the card Will got. Martin Stepanek also got a white card at his last CNF WR, but the record was then revoked after a protest (judges mistakenly told Martin that bottom camera is sufficient and they did not use any tags).

And yet another video, again from a different camera:

OK, so Will made 101 meters today (just to shake off any doubts of the samba yesterday). Well done! Huge performance, and huge congrats to Will!!!

 

[Will]

That was the idea - I don't like 'shadows of doubt,' so today the surface protocol was much more decisive
Thanks Deeper Blue folk for all your support!

 

[Goran Colak]

That's the way to go!
Brilliant... can't wait to see the whole dive...

Ps. actually the most impressive thing for me was the fact that Will did 3 dives to 100m CNF in 3 days!

That was the idea - I don't like 'shadows of doubt,' so today the surface protocol was much more decisive
Thanks Deeper Blue folk for all your support!

 

[Fondueset]

101 - that is perfect.

 

[flamencoguru]

Congrats on the records!! Simply fantastic! BTW, what was the official time on the 101m dive???

 

[dannybuoy]

apparently, according to the judge, it took him 4'08

 

[Walrus]

Congrats Will!!!!!
Now you really do need to take that chocolate bar out of the fridge.

 

[efattah]

Congrats on the 101m !!

 

[Krismidd]

What a wonderful dedication (Hector's Dolphin) and an incredible dive. Trubridge, you are an inspiration.

 

[Delfino]

Historical achievement.
