These performances are freakish. I think that maybe AIDA should make a special "excluding Tom Seitas" category so that others on this planet have a chance to set a record. Sheesh

Congratulations Tom!! Unbelievable, BUT, I guessed you would do 220m, so you fell a bit short ....

I like the idea of the category 'non-Tom static' and 'non-Tom dynamic'.

For example, today, Mr. X set a new AIDA world record in the 'non-Tom dynamic' category with 205m.... (just a fictional example)...

Congratulations Tom, really exceptional performance!

You keep us reminded that the "where is the limit" question does not apply only to diving deepest, but also the farthest.

Give us the videos!

Cheers
Vlad


ps. what's Tom Sietas's favourite beer?

Big congratulations again, Tom - simply out of this world. You are making me feel very old. I will go back trying to set Austrian records. (The Austrian No-limits record is 55m).

Frohe Weihnachten und ein ebenso erfolgreiches neues Jahr 2005!

Herbert

Isn't 175m no fins a world record ?

Click to expand...

By the way, what is today the official world record for apnea without fins ?

On the 19th of March 2005 in Massy (Paris), there will be an attempt of breaking the female world record by Sandra PIOVANACCI at 104 m...

Re: Tom Sietas set a new German record in DYN

MaxDream said:

He got one white card and one yellow card on his performance. One of the judges thought that he hadn't got his heels properly on the wall at the 100m turn. So a 10m penalty (5 points) remains until the judges make a final decision after video analysis. There were spectators who claimed that he did the turn right, and Tom himself said that he didn't feel anything wrong at any turn. Even if he didn't get his heels properly on the wall once, we should keep in mind that it's rather a disadvantage than a benefit because it only decreases the impulse on the push off, but rules are rules.

I confess I do not know the regulations for turning.... If I undersstand well, you must apply your heels to the wall ???

if while turning only the tip of your fins touches the wall, you are disqualified ?

One advantage of doing dynamic fins / no fins with a wetsuit and weight is that you have momentum that lets you glide from the push off and after each kick / arm stroke.

I once set a Canadian record in dynamic w/fins in a 5mm suit and over 15 lbs of weight. Not ideal, but I was perfectly balanced, and could coast.

interesting idea... could you develop ?

Very good truly outstanding performance Tom!!

What i'd like to know is why use wetsuit? I understand weight for more momentum I increased myself from 1kg to 2kg and brought my number of strokes down from 5 to 4. Also the 10kg you wore is it worn all on the neck or some on the body?
