    How do freedivers make their living? Can you make money freediving? Do freedivers live on sponsorship? Do freedivers have real jobs? I’ve been asked these questions countless times so I thought i’d make a video on the topic. I just finished teaching a freediving instructor course in Bali and I’ve never felt so optimistic about the freediving industry and where freediving as a sport is going so here are my thoughts! I also show you what it’s behind the scenes creating content for freediving.

  • RUSADA confirm appeal against WADA doping ban

    The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) has confirmed it will appeal the decision from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to restrict the country’s participation at major events, as punishment for the manipulation of the Moscow Laboratory data.

    RUSADA Supervisory Board chairman Alexander Ivlev said the body would contest the range of sanctions handed down by WADA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), following its meeting in Moscow today.

    Confirmation of the appeal – which must be filed by December 30 – came on the same day as Russian President Vladimir Putin gave his annual press conference, where he claimed the sanctions from WADA were “unfair” and the decision “goes against common sense”.

    RUSADA was declared non-compliant by the WADA Executive Committee last week, triggering a four-year package of punishments, including a ban on the Russian flag at the Olympic Games and World Championships.

    Russia is also set to be stripped of World Championships it has been awarded and the country has been barred from bidding for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

    However, Russian athletes who can prove they had no involvement in the doping scandal or the cover-up will be able to compete at major events as neutrals.

    USRPT stands for “Ultra Short Race Pace Training”. The premise for this training methodology is that race-specific high-intensity swimming will yield the optimal performance results and fastest times in competition. The overall goal is to simulate a racing situation in a workout to better prepare an athlete’s body for the actual race. 🏁
