The final and some world record attempts

I haven't found much time to continue to update the last days of the world championship, I wanted to keep all my focus on the reason I am here for.

My dive in the constant weight final started with a very good feeling in my warmup. During my dive I had problems equalizing my left ear - it blocked totally as shallow as 20 meters. I had to press as hard as I could and it didn't get any better on the way down. I have not had a single equalization problem throughout my 4 weeks everyday training, but since my ability to equalize has improved so much, I had enough air left to force it deep enough. The ascent was surprisingly easy, as I had decreased my weight and used my new monofin. The result was a very successful gold medal dive.
