Jan Dudzinski - 06-07-2016, 07:20 Temat postu: NOWE POLSKIE REKORDY ŚWIATA On saturday July 2nd 2016 Mateusz Malina set a new world record Dynamic no Fins (DNF), with a distance of 244 meter, breaking his previous record by 12 meters. Mateusz was competing at the AIDA world championships in Turku, Finland, and won the gold medal for this discipline with the dive. https://www.facebook.com/...ng/?pnref=story My dream came true, I've become double World Champion (DNF&DYN) with World Records set in the same swims 
You may not believe but literally after yesterday’s 300 I was in constant movement and only now after getting back home I have couple of minutes to write few words about World Championships in Turku. There is a lot to write about which I will do at some point. I’m full of emotions but this picture of Daan Verhoeven describes it all. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY. I have broken 3 World Records in 2 disciplines, 232m in DNF qualifications, improving it in finals by another 12m up to 244m. To me it is a history, it’s a record that lasted 6 years and no-one thought it will be beaten any time soon, at least not until last month It means to me so much more than that 300m but it’s less admirable by people because it’s not a round number I still can’t believe that I have improved it by 12m and there was much more in tank. I’ve calculated few months ago that I should be capable of doing 252m on perfect day, based on my speed, stroke count etc. but even that number is wrong. Numbers are wrong, it’s all wrong because it’s Limitless. Numbers are in our heads and on this championships I’ve focused on making good dives with good feelings, keeping thinking about numbers just for last part of dives as motivational tool. I must say it worked wonders for me! I came to Turku to defend my DNF title, DYN was 2nd priority because I knew there will be no rest after DNF finals and there are athletes strictly focusing on DNF or DYN only during this championships. On the other hand I knew that if I can do around 250 DNF, 300m DYN shouldn’t be a problem even without rest so let’s try to swim and see how it goes. I did it, I have swum 300m and became World Champion in DYN, spliting the record with Georgios Panagiotakis but I got the gold because my announcement was higher (it was closer to actually reached distance by 1m). I will write more in next couple of weeks, separately about each day on my blog. I hope it will be interesting, so stay tuned
p.s. I would like to thank everyone for their support, especially Grena LTD my official sponsor, my Ola, parents, sister, family, great team and many many others. Your kind messages are simply overwhelming me lately that I don't even have time to respond them all so sorry but I will do my best to do it Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YcoyzAje1I |
