Aarhus Triple Challenge 2009
June 18, 2009 in Competition, National Record by Jorg Jansen
Last weekend was time for the Aarhus Triple Challenge freediving competition in Aarhus, Denmark. Normally this competition consists of doing 2 competitions of 3 disciplines in 2 days. But at the last minute one day was canceled. Nevertheless there were some big performances going on.
With 14 competitors from 5 countries it was a good practice competition for the world championships that will be organized by the same people. Apperantly they learned a lot from what was going good and especially what was going bad.
