Sayuri Kinoshita (Japan) is attempting to take the Free Immersion (FIM) World Record from Alessia Zecchini (Italy) who set the record on Day 4. Kinoshita needs to hit 94m to claim the record.
The powerhouse that is Alexey Molchanov (Russia) is trying to show current Free Immersion (FIM) specialist and World Record holder William Trubridge how it is done with massive 125m dive today. Trubridge attempted this on Day 6 but lost his mouthfill and decided to abort the dive.
