Huge congrats to all of You, especially Anna (von Boetticher), Annelie (Pompe), Peter (Pedersen), Sara (Campbell) * - Wish I could be there to see the huge smiles that all of You must be carrying around all day!

PRESS RELEASE on AIDA WEBSITE

Thanks Richard! It was a great day, the weather calmed down and it was reported that people who were diving in the low 40m range could see the bottom plate almost from the surface. I was horribly nervous before my dive, but got rescued by Patrick Schnorf who found me on the warm-up lines and offered to coach me - from then on, everything was easy! Now the nerves are building: what to announce no fins? Oh dear...

What should I say more? . Perfect performance!

wow -I chose the wrong day to go to a conference and not look at a laptop!

Well done folks!!! particular kudos to Liv for dispelling the demons (not to mention the snot), Deepest of the Daves for showing us what a couple years out can do, George for stepping in at the last minute and doing us proud - and of course Sara, for a sensible yet still bloody amazing call that clearly paid off!

Also incredible to see Carlos come back at that level after the hell he has been through... and of course Herbert - how many bowls of pasta was that the night before???

special award to Jome for reporting AND doing so well!!

thanks folks

Here's a couple of the Danish girls dives. Pardon the obvious patriotism, I'm sure you'd rather see Herbert's dive first, but this is the first time our girls have won anything internationally. Way to go, Maria!

Starting lists for tomorrow are out!
SP v globinskih disciplinah 2007 : apnea tekmovanja - Page 5

No record attempts for men, Herbert 77m, both Willams 75m, but interesting womens announcements Natalia for the WR 57m but Sarah 60m. This means Natalia could be beaten for the first time on big competitions? Unbelievable.

 

[fcallagy]

interesting reading thanks for posting

 

[Flojt]

Wow, I am thrilled was interesting to read the start list and the AP. It will be too long wait tomorrow, until we'll know who takes the medals and white cards with'em home.

Good luck to you all, down there enjoy the moment.

 

[perow1]

Ok, good luck to everyone today. Keep the info coming during the day.

and for those who are considering to skip their dive;

You could bee in a place where the water is turning solid and the snow is falling. I am in a place like that. Those places exist no matter what you might think down there in egypt. You should be happy!

Soooo, looking forward to the results.

 

[Goran Colak]

Still no info from Sharm... if I calculate right both Natalia and Sara are finished till now.

 

[Jorg]

it's very very quiet...

 

[Goran Colak]

Seams like Natalia did not compete and Sara had BO so... the third girl will be a winer, think that's Jarmila...

 

[TheDude]

Any medal would be a great end of a strong season for Jarmila. 3rd at the Triple Depth as a rookie in international competitions, strong performances also in Maribor... Hope she made her dive ok.

 

[jome]

Hmm, ok here's what I know

Herbert Ok
Winram OK
Trubridge not ok
Maldame not ok
Morgan ok
Alexey ok

Natalia didn't start, the rest of the women I just don't know
This watching from the shore, based on the amount of cheering, not official

 

[island_sands]

Poor Sara - hope she is ok

 

[AltSaint]

Other Brit news just in:

Liv Philip DNS
Georgie Miller ok
Dave King turned early

Bit of a turnround from Thursday's results. But well done George - good comp all-round!

Sara has released something.

 

[BennyB]

Well done to everyone! Sounds like there were a lot more BO's this time around though.

I bet everyone is well and truly in party mode there now, have a great one!
