New strongman of the French apnea, Arnaud Jerald gleaned a bronze medal by signing a light descent to 115 m in the queen category of apnea in depth, the constant weight with palm, Friday at the World-2019 AIDA to Villefranche-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes).
The 23-year-old Marseille has concluded a rich week for the Blues, who have notably collected gold with the victory Morgan Bourc'his Monday in constant weight without palm for his thirteenth and last world championships, and money with the beautiful performance of Alice Modolo in constant weight with palm at the end of multiple twists.
Jerald was the Habs having been in the deep of the sea this week, signing his best performance in competition, behind two Russians: the depth superstar Alexey Molchanov (130 m) and Andrey Matveenko (119 m).
"We can say that it's a good day! Today I felt almost at home, it was almost automatism, I let myself go," Jerald told AFP, who broke a particularly fast recovery: 3 min 12!
"I'm going very fast because I have 10 years of mountain bike competition between the legs, and the less we stay for a long time in the 100m zone, the better we go", continues the diver, who once returned to the surface made his protocol before receiving a white card, which means that his performance is validated.
