New World Record in DNF

We celebrate the great Polish athlete Julia Kozerska. At the very beginning of the second competition day in the 28th AIDA World Championship, Julia set a new AIDA World Record* in Dynamic Without Fins by performing a very beautiful dive of 209m (686ft).

Less than 2 months ago, Julia set her previous world record in DNF of 202m (663ft) at the AIDA Polish Freediving Pool Championships. However, that record didn't last long - on the same day in the same competition, another Polish athlete, Magdalena Solich-Talanda, set the bar higher in DNF by performing a 207m (679ft) dive.

Now, the world record belongs to Julia again. We believe that her record should last for a while this time since, during this championship event, Magdalena performed a 180m (591ft) dive and is content and happy with her silver medal in DNF.

Julia has been training freediving since 2011. In the 2016 and 2018 AIDA Championships, she won bronze and silver medals. And today, on June 21st, 2022, Julia became AIDA World Champion and World Record holder in DNF at the same time, which is a first for her.

Congratulations, Julia! We hope to see even greater results from you next year!
