Yasemin Dalkilic’s Team has just announced that the planned record attempt that had to take place in December, will be postponed until end of march/april 2010. So, now we have to wait a little bit longer to see if Yasemin can do an 125 meter variable weight dive.
There were several reasons why they couldn’t continue with the dive. First of all, the city of Bodrum (Turkey) was not the right place. Too much greed and too little sponsorship, so they are going to move the record attempt to Kas.
Also because of the delayed final on the go of the record attempt, the safety and video crew had to take on some other jobs, so they are gone. And finally there were no F.R.E.E. judges available outside from some Turkish ones.
Too bad that they resurrect the F.R.E.E. organization for this purpose and don’t use AIDA for this purpose. I really had hoped that they would return to AIDA. It was the same with Pipin’s organization, IAFD, it always got you thinking if they set up their organization only for themselves to get some ‘easy records’.
Anyway, there is still time to change their minds on this matter. Maybe an important task for the new AIDA board? Good luck to Yasemin and her trainings!
