Good luck! Hope you set a new national record…It’s been a while for static.

Well I was thinking about keeping it secret, but it’s uplifting to get noted! I;ll work to get in tune and surpass finally the 7. I’ve worked on strength, stamina, flexibility and technique for dynamic, I know that it also works through in static.

Today I’m very tired, and still much to do before departure!

It’s going to be intresting, I’ll try my best to make it into the Final(s) I Indeed missed narrowly last time in 2005.

See you down there!

I looked him up in the ranking and the only time above 6:30 and white card was in may 2005 6:38. After that a best time of 6:28 in 2006 and for 2007 I can’t find any info. His personal record is 6:50 in march 2005 and he hasn’t broke it since. But who knows… If he gets a white card he can make it far.

Interesting list! About Carlos; 6:18 in his last comp without wetsuit… yes very good possible.

Indeed too bad about all those other big numbered guys missing…

Oh, forgot Kars!

Very consistent 6:30+ man – with a little good wind, definately in the finals.

I’d say potential 7 minute breakers (in addition to the mentioned)
Alex Molchanov
Timo Jattu
Mikko Pöntinen
Guillaume Nery
Aleš Sliškar
Miha Pribošič
Peter Boivie
Weine Gustavsson
Per Westin
Nicolas Guerry
Carlos Coste

I’d watch out especially for Per, Peter and Carlos. Why Carlos? Well, I have a gut feeling he’s been putting some effort into pool training lately. Just a guess The rest of ‘em may offer pleasant surprises.

Hopefully we see some completely unexpected names in the final as well!

Pretty much agree with the top 3 in terms of who, not necessarily the order In top 5 we might see some surprise names already!

Stig has the potential to win, but then again, his consistency in static has not always been great.

Shame that we don’t have more of the big guns for static…I’d like to see Sam Still, Tom Sietas, Wolle, Eric F and especially Karl Pernett. And Mifsud! Come on, if even Apnea Academy is back in terms with AIDA, he should be back too! It’s a new era, time to let go of old grudges.

Damn.. small mistake. Replaced him with william winram, also a 7 min man.

I could say that this was a test to see if the visitors of this site are really paying attention. Would you believe that?

I think Simo is not participating in WC this year, so probably he will not be in the finals either. I doubt that Stig can beat Herbert or Timo in competition, but we’ll see about that.
