Dear Freediving Friends,
Since 1999, the World Freediving Award has been presented to the world's best freedivers in COMPETITIONS in each category. This Award is unique, and is based on the AIDA World Ranking list from each year.
2009 is our 10th Anniversary, and this years winners are:
Constant Weight,
Natalia Molchanova, Russia, 101m / 101 points, 090925
Herbert Nitsch, Austria, 120m / 120 points, 090411
Static,
Natalia Molchanova, Russia, 8'23" / 100,6 points, 090821
Guy Brew, New Zealand, 9'03" / 108.3 points, 090711
Dynamic with fins,
Natalia Molchanova, Russia, 213m / 106,5 points, 090822
Goran Colak, Croatia, 233m / 116,5 points, 091114
Dynamic without fins,
Natalia Molchanova, Russia, 160m / 80 points, 090820
Dave Mullin, New Zeeland, 232m / 116 points, 090711
Constant Weight without fins,
Natalia Molchanova, Russia, 62m / 62 points, 091203
William Trubridge, New Zealand, 90m / 90 points, 091203
Free Immersion,
Natalia Molchanova, Russia, 90m / 90 points, 090927
Herbert Nitsch, Austria, 109m / 109 points, 090406
Some curiosities after 2009 are that Herbert Nitsch now is the first freediver in the world who at some point in his freediving career has been a World Record holder in all 8th disciplines! Herbert is also the first to mirror Pelizzari's feat to hold WR's in Constant, Variable and No Limits at the same time. Then it's interesting to know that Natalia Molchanova is the first freediver, men included, who achieved more than 100 points in each depth, length and time disciplines inside of the same year.
