The World Underwater Federation (CMAS<\/a>) has published on October 8, 2019 its new regulation for deep apnea competitions (Outdoor CMAS Free Diving Competition Rules – 2019) where one of the most interesting modifications indicates the age categories, in which the minimum age for official competitions of 18 years is specified, as well as the inclusion of a master category for athletes over 50 years. The original article in the regulation in English indicates the following:<\/p>\n

1.1.7 Categories\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\n1.1.7.1 The official competitions are organized for men and\/or women who are at least 18 years old. Athletes over 50 years can participate at Masters Category. They can compete in the same competition but will have a different classification. A Master athlete, if he wants, can ask for participation at Seniors\u00a0category instead of Master.<\/em><\/p>\n

On July 20, 2019, as we reviewed in Sportalsub.net, the Cuban-American freediver Francisco “Pip\u00edn” Ferreras set a new world record by descending -106 meters in the apnea no limits modality, in the master category for those over 55 years set at -105 meters<\/a>, which had been unbeatable for over 40 years and had been made by the great Jacques Mayol.<\/p>\n

This record was recognized by CMAS, published and officialized on its website on October 6: Freediving World Record No Limit Master 55<\/a><\/p>\n

Pipin published in his instagram<\/a> his thanks to CMAS for the inclusion of this age group.<\/p>\n

Gracias infinitas a todos los que a lo largo de muchos a\u00f1os me apoyaron, creyeron en mi y me motivaron tanto espiritual como sentimental. Gracias a ti amor de mi vida Audrey por estar vigil\u00e1ndome constantemente y gui\u00e1ndome en mis largas horas de meditaci\u00f3n y elevaci\u00f3n espiritual; como \u00e1ngel de mi guardia eres excepcional en la manera que logras nuestras conexiones. Millones de gracias especialmente para Nina que ha estado a lo largo de estos \u00faltimos 8 a\u00f1os batallando a capa y espada para que mi quimera se cristalizara, sin tu apoyo no me hubiese sido posible. Una ves m\u00e1s gracias a todos los buzos aseguradores y asistentes operativos que trabajaron incansablemente para que este r\u00e9cord se hiciera realidad y gracias a la CMAS por haber incorporado esta modalidad Masters la cual de seguro muchos Apneistas agradecer\u00e1n.<\/a><\/p>\n
