Ice diving world record – level 3
04-03-2024 07:00
Valentina Cafolla swiftly reclaimed her apnea ice diving world record, diving 140 meters deep without oxygen or assistance within just 36 hours.
Initially setting the record in 2017, Cafolla’s achievement was surpassed by Yasuko Ozeki, only to be regained by Cafolla at Lago di Anterselva in the Italian Alps, despite challenging conditions. Her resilience and skill were evident as she faced heavy snowfall and icy waters. Additionally, Cafolla set a new world record with a double fin dive the following day, showcasing her remarkable talent and determination.
Her story serves as an inspiration, highlighting the importance of perseverance and dedication in achieving one’s goals in the face of adversity.
Difficult words: apnea (freediving), resilience (toughness), perseverance (the continued effort despite difficulties or failure).
