Viking Pool Challenge 2007 - Results

Finally we have had our first official AIDA - ranked competition on Åland, and it was a great success!

Even though there were only a few competitors, everything ran pretty smoothly and there were only minor details that we have to change for the next competition.

We had no black outs or incidents what so ever, and that is the goal and spirit of our club, so we are very happy for that.

There were two new swedish records and three new ålandish records.

Swedish records:
First Marcus von Schmalensée got the old record from Anders, and did an great DNF dive for 136 meters, which is truly amazing, considering that he pretty young and still is in the beginning of his career as a freediver.

Unfortunately he only got to keep his record for about 15 minutes, until Anders went into the pool and did an outstanding performance of 142 meters, which also was one meter longer than the best DYN performance of the day, made by Tobias Nilsson.

Ulf Dextegen had in mind to get a new swedish record in static, but unfortunately he "only" got 7:12, and that is still a world class result. It was also his first white card in a competition so he was happy about that.

Ålandish records:
The 142 meter DNF dive that Anders made was also of course an ålandish record, which I think he will keep for himself for a long time ahead, unless he set a new one.

Ingela Karlsson was really focused at the static performance and set a new official record for women at 3:31

One of our newest recruits, Eva Ernkrans, attended at her first competition ever, and set an impressive new ålandish and personal record at 92 meters DYN.

There were also the first competition for some other of our team members, and they did very good. If the rest of our competitions follows this pattern, we have nothing to fear.

Raehl Zemoi and Mathias Lanner were the Judges and they did a very good job.

As an organizer, we will give our THANK YOU, to all the competitors, the judges, the crew, the volounteers, the team members and last but not least our sponsors that made this competition possible!
