Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Whatever motivates Herbert coming back year after year taking back those record. Amazing.
 
What's going on with Eric? No start and no announcement today?

FRC or inhale?

Herbert breaking another WR...Who would've guessed! But an 85m FRC dive, that would be interesting :)

(well ok, I guess Herbert's dive is pertty impressive too)
 
BIG BIG ups to Will T for his generosity in running such a fantastic event, and organising such beautiful documentation and efficient updates online. Here's to giving him all the support he can get on his dives, because it can't be easy running an event AND competing at the same time!!!!!!! Go William!
 
how much longer does this comp go on? Just wondering if we'll see any more headline breaking news....
 
Great competition so far, good luck to Herb today, and to all guys and girls that are diving for NR's... And BIG thumbs up for William, great effort to organize and to compete at same event... god luck to him!
 
now that the event is well underway I hope William T. can relax & focus only on himself and get some good dives too...

good luck to all!

Keep a close eye on Davide! He's quietly hacking away at 100m and beyond!

Sam, I think the comp has four more official days. Tomorrow, a rest day, and then three more after that.

This is when successive deep dives start to take their toll and the pressure mounts for everyone trying to do a personal best or achieve a personal/record goal. Dive or rest for the next day? :duh
 
wow.....Congratulations Herbert, amazing dive ..109met...4:11min
 
Keep a close eye on Davide! He's quietly hacking away at 100m and beyond!

yeah, 96 m and the next day 98!! he must have a lot more in him.

btw, any news on why efattah didn't dive?
