Matt Malina, vice-champion of the world in free-diving is the youngest ever free-diver to date, who has succeeded in standing on the podium. His way to 106 meters, which he accomplished in 2011 during the world championship also is one of the most spectacular and unexpected in the world of free-diving. Mateusz is from the mountain region in Poland. The distance from the Red or Mediterranean Sea, the closest place possible to train in deep-water diving, is only a couple thousand kilometers. Malina started in the cold waters of northern Europe, as well as in swimming pools, in order to appear out of nowhere in Greece and reach the podium. Free-diving is a relatively new type of rival sport. Very few people are able to drive below 100 meters. The body of the diver is subject to massive strain. It is also a challenge for the mind and it is said that free-diving also demands mental engagement, requiring calming your emotions, listening to your own body. To state that this is a dive within yourself is not a metaphor. The depth obtained is closely connected with your emotional state, relaxation and physical preparation to the tournament.
