YOU had said no for this WC for a year now, and Timo have put everything in for this competition for a long time. What made you change your mind? And what about Timo now? ...or is it maybe Stig or Hening that is out now?
You are the best pointcollecter in DEN, but do you have some kind of VIP access to who is in or out, in the team for the WC? ...after all it only 5 weeks left.
Well I will give your my version - Peter P did send an email to the Dannish national team that he where not going to compete during the WC. I did even send him an email saying that i where sorry to hear that Peter where not competing during the WC. This of cause did mean that i did not participate in Athens ( loved to have been there ) and Lysekilde, because i am very low on cash.
I have been training quite hard this year with freediving and spearfishing ( Danish champion and Nordic champion 2006) so I am fit for fight.. At the National team training session 3 days before the announcement of the competitors I where Informed that Peter P - where back on the team. I of cause did objeckt to this because I have no way of finding a competition and getting som better results during the weekend and i dont think that it is etical, or sportsmanlike in anyway to act like that.
This means that I where not between the first 3 participants, but now the fourth - This also means that I are not going to the WC, because of several reasons - First of all i dont want to use a lot of monney that i dont have to get a maybe chance to compete, and also because i find it very hard to support a etical line like that currently on the team.
I also quite sure that this is a culmination about Peter P not accepting my reccords from Dahab during 2005..
Just a little info :
1) Peter where the current CWF recordholder.
2) Paragraf 3.2 states ( danish rules) that only if the judges are not of the same opinion the video must be seen trough.Aida Denmark is to set down a board of AIDA judges to wiev the attemts if the judges at the attemt are not of the same opinion or the Atlete protest.
3) The Records are valid from the time the judges accept the rules.
4) The danish rules states that all AIDA judges are automaticly accepted as DFF (danish freediving..) judges, I did inform that there where a confligt in Peter P - watching the videos because the rules state that there is no reasons to do this..
Yes the videos where not perfect, but when the Judges have given me the white card and accepted the reccord - so the videos where not an opinion..
Peter P did inform me that there where no prerequicites to the attemts, wich is not true, the danish rules are a extension of the international rules, wich means that I must perform the Prerequicits.. The judges did requier me to do the prequicites so by luck i where safed by them.
Peter p - did tell me that Lotta where not registred as a Judge during these events - That is not true! The application where filled with Erez and Jonas names, but Peter where not able of finding Jonas on the judge list so i did inform him that Lotta is also a AIDA Judge, and she will judge if needed - There where no objection about this.
Anyway - Peter P, did against the Danish rules and against the judges at the attemt - state that the records where not valid...
And i can keep going....
But lastly the Danish championships where this year during the Lysekilde competition, and it where not announced anywhere.. Actualy some of the atletes did first know that the Danish championships where in Lysekilde - The competition where not announced anywhere - The DFF webmaster and member of the DFF board did only know the Danish championships where in lysekilde when he got the results...
We did of cause have a debate on this on my forum.deeperdiving.net ( tread is in Danish) where Peter P, states that it takes "balls" to run the DFF - I did tell him that if it takes "Balls" to run the DFF he should not sertainly not sit as tha chairmann of DFF - I dont think "Balls" have any rights in a democratic organisation..
Anyway - thats it for now! I guess most of you can understand why i am not happy about the situation..
Anyway to you that are going to the WC - good luck! And dive safe!
Best regards
