This morning Tom Sietas did 9min and 15sec static, breaking his own world record,during a live show on the German Television (with our own Intl. AIDA judges Pim and Susan to approve the WR)
Congratulations Tom !!!  Amazing as always how he comes up after more then 9 minutes.......

Here how he surfaces .
p.s. Did not put the whole video on because during his attempt they showed some horrible german singer instead . Bad for the ears so only the important part

And here the dynamics nofins demo on the ZDF show the day before (p.s. The pool is 38 meters so non standard thats why Tom seems less fluid during the turning point which are of course tuned to 25 or 50 meter pools)
