Final day at the Polish Championship, 21st March

The Warsaw Mermaid is a great symbol for a beautiful city hosting a great freediving competition!

The championship was over on Saturday, but two disciplines remained: The One Breath static competition wih a head-to-head final, and the DNF Only competition. The athmosphere at the pool was more relaxed and there were only 16 competitors, which allowed time to chat and have some fun.

I must confess that I didn't have the same competitive instinct after wining yesterday. I was simply very satisfied with the dives and not to forget the amazing prices, and didn't have the proper focus on my DNF dive, where I came up after only 54m. There were some great performances though, among them a new polish record by Alexandra Sulkiewicz with 104m in DNF and Robert Cetler beating everybody with ease in STA.

The competition was a great success with good organizers, lot's of helpers and generous sponsors. I'd come back any time! The final results from Saturday and Sunday can be found here.

  2. I knew it was a mistake to give you the prices before all dives where done...Radek said, next time DNF will count for the over all results. So you will have to do the dive... ;)
