1st AIDA Individual World Freediving Championships (Indoor) - Renens, Switzerland
Renens (Lausanne), Switzerland, August 24 - 27, 2005
While attending his very first World Championships, Winram
also broke his first national record with a distance of
114 meters in the discipline of dynamic apnea without
fins (DNF) tying with another freediver for 8th place
during the qualifying heats.
Unfortunately, there are no ties allowed in freediving
pool disciplines. If two results are the same, the announced
performance becomes the determining factor for ranking.
Hence, the other freediver had announced a distance which
was closer to his actual performance than William Winram
who had to take 9th place and be excluded from the final
heat.
Despite the disappointment, Winram resorted himself to
perform in the opener dives of the DNF finals which took
place the same day, setting a new record distance at 116
meters which became his second Pan-American record. |
