As Kardasevic wrote on her Facebook profile:

“It was a struggle and very stressful to get to this competition due to the whole situation in the world but our organisers DPS, Submania and Croatian Freediving Federation tried really hard for this competition to happen since we hadn’t competed in a very, very, very long time.

“I have to admit that I was very nervous and it was hard to stay calm, it was for sure the hardest dive I ever did, but for the beginning of the season, base training and during Covid19 times, I am more than happy with this result. I have learned from my mistakes, which I won’t repeat again, and I have felt the feeling of the competition again, which is the most important thing.

“Now, we wait for the record validation and we go back to base training.”
