Watch: Freediver from Hungary Sets New World Record in FIM
Hungary’s Fatima Korok has set a world record in freediving at this year’s Vertical Blue competition held at the Bahamas, the event’s website said on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old Hungarian athlete triumphed by diving 102 metres deep on a single breath in free immersion (FIM), spending 3.47 minutes under water.

Korok bested the record set by Italy’s Alessia Zecchini who dived 101 metres deep in 2021.
