Freediver breaks world record

It has been reported that a Croatian freediver has broken the world record by holding his breath for almost half an hour.

Croatian athlete Vitomir Maricic held his breath for 29 minutes and 3 seconds to get into the Guinness Book of Records.

In front of a special commission, he took a deep breath, then submerged his face in water and held his breath for almost half an hour.

All this time, the athlete lay on his stomach at the bottom of the pool and held on to the sides. Judges and doctors were constantly nearby, monitoring Vitomir’s condition.

“Physically, I was feeling worse and worse, especially with problems with my diaphragm. But deep down, I knew I wouldn’t give up,” admitted Vitomir Maricic.
