William Winram - the dangerman
He's won more competitions and medals than almost any other freediver, and he's one of the few who 'all-rounders' in the sport, able to pull out world-class performances in all the disciplines. Being an ex-competitive swimmer at a national level in breaststroke William has taken to the no-fins disciplines more than the others, and has attempted several times to break the world record in CNF. This iron-willed Canadian can never be ruled out, as shown during the AIDA world champs when he came from nowhere to win silver with a 75m CNF dive after being out of the water for a month with middle ear infections.
