Alessia had this to say to DeeperBlue.com:
“I would thank Walid and the safety team for all the organization! I’m very happy of this record in this great day where a lot of nationals records or new personal bests for my friends! I was quite calm before my dive and I very focus for all of it and the result was amazing! It wasn’t my goal a few months ago, but it was the only discipline that I could to do without push with my arm after last surgery. In next days of competition, I’ll do some dives in free immersion, the disciplines that I like more.”
