What Channel and Time ?

=> Please provide us a channel on satellite (SAT\FREQ) and the GMT time that the comp starts.

- Thanks
 
Thank you Czech team. It was a previlege to have you in Kranj. How is your forhead? It is you who crushed into the wall, arent you? Everybody is still talking about your spectacular dive.
Take care,
Ales
 
Sounds like a great competition. Were there no static performances under 5 minutes? Pretty impressive!

Cheers,
Ben
 
There were not so many competitors, but performances were good. Jarmila broke Czech NR in DNF (135m).
Ales
 
Yes that's me . My head is OK. I regret that I was not able to stay my mouth over the watter. The line was jast little bit flexible. I will take more care for the next tiem . Otherwise threre would be two Czech national DYN records .-).
 
It is a pity. Next time we'll prepare extra strong lines for Czech dolphines. It was still a strong dive.
Ales
 
Michal, congratulation on the impresive DNF.... A massive crash to the wall of the swimming pool at the very start and still 140m - that is crazy.
I think the competition has great potential - it is close to many strong freediving countrys - Slovakia, Checz Republik, Hungary, Croatia so hopefully next year we will see more competitors.
But even so there were many strong results - of course Jarmila's. And four statics over 6 minutes. With some luck there could have been three man's DNF over 130 meter's, four DYN over 160 meters.
It was nice to be a part of this event.
Thanks to organizers!
Miha
 
Thanks Miha, it was nice to see you competing there.
We have some underwater cam shots. Hope that we'll be able to put them on the web. I'll let you know.
Ales
 
It was very nice competition and I was lucky to win, if you have some underwater pictures or videos, let me know. Thanks Josef
PS: next year I will come again for sure
 
Just one more thing.... am I mistaken or was this really the very first competition for the two Checz divers.... Over 6 minutes statics and 140 meters DNF! Where have you been hiding!?
 
For me it was the first time , that's maybe why I experienced something that I have never experienced during my training :head... Josef competed at about forth time, is it right potapnik :t?
 
you are right, my first comp. was czech championship last year (3rd place) then I was disq. at rhein main cup, then Bizzy blue hole (2nd place) and finally Slo open 08. picaso wasnt hiding, he just start freedive about a half a year ago it is difficult compete, when here are so few comp. and so far a way from your home, we are working people, without any sponsors.
