𝗔 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗡𝗙

On October 10 at the CMAS 8th Freediving Depth World Championship 2024, located in the Mediterranean Sea in Kalamata, Greece, 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗸𝗮 (𝗨𝗞𝗥) made history with a dive to 80m (262ft) without fins, setting a new absolute World Record in the Constant Weight with No Fins (CNF) discipline. Congratulations, Kateryna - you did it again!

Kateryna, a former synchronized swimmer, has already showcased her exceptional abilities in water sports before she even began freediving. After winning multiple champion titles at European Championships in synchronized swimming between 2010 and 2014, Kateryna seamlessly transitioned into the world of freediving when she participated in her first freediving competition in 2017.

Kateryna's breakthrough in frediving occurred in 2022 at the CMAS 6th Freediving Depth World Championship, where she dove without fins to a depth of 70m (230ft) and became the CNF World Champion. In 2023, she pushed herself even further, improving her personal best (PB) in the discipline by 8m (26ft) within one competition season, eventually reaching 78m (256ft). This was a significant improvement in the CNF discipline, especially considering the challenges it presents.

Celebrating Kateryna's 78m World Record last year, we expressed hope that her next CNF dive could be 80m deep. And now, it is a 'remember-that-tweet' moment, because just a year later, Kateryna made that dream come true.

At the World Championships, athletes usually announce dives that are several meters shallower than their PB to secure a ranking position and not risk losing out on a medal. This is because they have only one attempt to succeed in each discipline. Kateryna wasn't scared of the harsh conditions of the Mediterranean Sea, its cold water, or the Championship pressure - she not only became a World Champion again but also pushed the world's best result to an incredibly bold depth. Even among the men in freediving, only 17 athletes have ever managed to reach the same depth. Truly mindblowing - congratulations, Kateryna!

No es el destino, es el camino 🚴‍♀️

¡Cuando alguien dude, crean en esa persona porque eso es lo único que esa persona necesita para triunfar!

Hoy logramos un hito, un nuevo PB y más que un número o un récord, un desapego total a la espectativa, soltar lo que no sirve y inhalar mucho amor ❤️ la energía pura e infinita que ayuda a repeler lo malo, lo que no suma, ignorar lo que no podemos cambiar.

Como entrenadora, estoy orgullosa de por demostrar lo que ya sabíamos hace muchos años y yo.

Ahora quién también lo vio, sabe que este es el comienzo de un proceso de autoconociento y mucha conciencia.

Felicidades por los 147 metros DYN 🥈

On July 9, the final day of the CMAS 14th World Championship Freediving Indoor in Belgrade, Serbia, 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗮š𝗲𝘃𝗶ć (𝗛𝗥𝗩) set a new absolute World Record in Dynamic (DYN), swimming 𝟮𝟴𝟮𝗺 (𝟵𝟮𝟱𝗳𝘁) with a monofin.

The previous absolute World Record in DYN of 277m (909ft) was set according to AIDA rules by Magdalena Solich-Talanda (POL) at the AIDA International Czech Championship in freediving 2022.

Then, at the CMAS Freediving Indoor World Championship 2022, Mirela set a new CMAS World Record in DYN with 275.36m (903ft). The performance brought her a gold medal and the World Champion title; however, the absolute World Record was still 1.64m (5ft) ahead.

Finally, in 2024, her dream came true - Mirela became the absolute DYN World Record holder, leaving her competitors 5m (16ft) behind! Congratulations, Mirela - it was a masterpiece dive!

Previously, Mirela was a nationally-ranked swimmer. But in May 2017, after a seven-year break from sports, she tried freediving out of curiosity and fell in love with the sport. That same year, Mirela participated in the European Outdoor Championship in Kaş and won two bronze medals (CNF and Jump Blue).

Since then, Mirela has been a consistent and devoted athlete, successfully performing at both pool and depth competitions and winning medals and records. In particular, this record is Mirela's 14th World Record.

Talking about Mirela, we mustn't fail to mention her impeccable swimming technique! If you missed her dive, we urge you to watch it now - seeing a freediver swimming gracefully and with such technical expertise is a special aesthetic joy.
