00:00Hello, my name is Katerina Sadurska and I just broke a 10th world record in
00:12freediving in constant weight no offense discipline reaching the mark of 90 meters.
00:20It's still hard to understand what just happened because this is a discipline which used to be
00:29considered as the shallowest one and at this point it got a bit deeper and I'm
00:36very proud to bring this mark from 74 meters to 90 meters in the last three
00:46years. I think this like every record is very special but this 90 meter mark is
00:53something I cannot even yeah I cannot understand what happened actually. I
01:02think constant weight no offense is very athletic discipline and it requires you
01:13to be almost perfect freediver. You need to know how to equalize, you need to learn how
01:19to relax, you need to know how to hold your breath for a long time, you need to
01:25have some decent technique to move yourself efficiently underwater not to spend some
01:34extra oxygen, extra energy. I think it's yeah like this all-round athlete
01:46definition to do this discipline and this is what I enjoy because I'm an
01:52athlete since I'm eight years old and I love freediving but also I like to
02:01challenge myself. Important contribution to exploring the limits of our bodies
02:08especially female bodies. There are not so many researchers done for us
02:13unfortunately and we still don't know what we are capable of and I'm really happy
02:19to stretch these boundaries and I'm really happy to see so many women going
02:26deeper over these years in especially in offense discipline because once you know
02:33that it's possible for someone it's a bit easier for you to follow this path and
02:41yeah I'm very happy to be part of that process and of course being a Ukrainian it's
02:49always a double achievement given all the circumstances we have to go through as
02:55Ukrainian athletes as Ukrainian people and I really wanted to dedicate this dive as
03:03all of my previous dives to Ukrainian people who stand who still fight for
03:08freedom and democracy and Slava Ukraine. The the gap between this record and then the
03:18next competitor is at the moment 11 meters and of course I feel less pressure
03:31than other record holders because the competition is there much tight but it
03:37doesn't mean that I don't have a pressure at all it doesn't have that I am very
03:42relaxed there is still a lot of expectation from outside and from
03:50inside as well because we always think about the next step even today I did the
03:56dive and it's natural that the thinking about the future comes in so it's always
04:04challenging and actually I would say here when you're competing let's say with
04:14yourself and exploring the new territory it might be even harder sometimes
04:19because nobody's done it before and you have no protocols how it could be done so
04:26you're basically exploring something very new something that works only for
04:33for you
