UNSTOPPABLE!

Covering the last 40m of the ascent using his arms only, Herbert Nitsch ascended with the tag that he had collected from 120m (393 feet). This will go down in the annals as one of the most impressive performances in freediving, and is a testimony to the form and capacity of this amazing athlete.

Pictures and more news to follow.

The coverage (writing particularly), as well as photos, have been extraordinary--- many, many kudos. The athletes' profiles were superbly done and it just got better from there. Hard to know where to begin in praising this; you are a superb writer, Will. It was delightful to enjoy the skill with which you put this in words. Heartfelt thanks and congratulations.
