hi all
o.k., now i know who's got good chances of winning each event, but what about all those unknown guys/girls?
do you have a friend or dive buddy who is competing in cyprus who might be interesting to watch?
i support the following:
bevan dewar, south africa: i dived with the bloke in thailand earlier this year and his performances were quite outstanding. repetitive 40m dives with extended bottom times (wasn't much deeper there).
i could imagine he is good for 60-70m and statics of +7min. he recently mailed me some training results for statics which would put him next to nitsch and stepanek (but i don't tell). plus a cool guy who is really into the sport.
mathias ahlen, sweden: dived with him and lotta in april. he managed to increase his pb from 40m to +55m in 2 weeks. all easy and relaxed. fun to hang around with and very supportive.
wolle neugebauer, germany: black cressis, 60m, no mouthfill equalising. a judge watching this guy recover from a dive would most likely disqualify him. i hope he sorts his grimacing out in time.
a full on dude with lots of energy.
and from the egyptian team: amr maghrabi and ashod papazian: didn't dive much with them, they were socialising a lot with the chicks on the beach. and one day ashod decided to let go of his c4's in the blue hole (90m at the bottom). bad mistake.
a very entertaining duo.
everyone impressed me not just with their diving but also with friendship and fun and good times.
i'll be cheering for you all!
