AIDA Freediving World Championship, Wakayama
25 June 2025
It was an honour to be part of Team Malaysia for the pool championship in Wakayama, Japan. A truly eye-opening experience—my first time witnessing a competition of this scale. It was inspiring to see so many world-class athletes in action. I didn’t get the result I was hoping for in my target event and was disqualified (DQSP), but I’m grateful to have set a new personal best in static apnea at 4:02.
