On Friday the 23rd of February 2024, the distance record will undergo testing using a monofin, covering a distance of 140 meters. Subsequently, on the following day, Saturday the 24th, Valentina will employ traditional long bi-fins for freediving, aiming for a distance of 120 meters.
Valentina’s weekend will be a double challenge—aiming to secure the world record with both CMAS-validated mono- and bi-fins while also making her mark in the Guinness World Records.
Her determination and courage are truly commendable, as this dual feat demands not just exceptional preparation but also an in-depth understanding of the extreme environment where these record attempts unfold.
While Valentina has showcased her skill and dedication in various record and diving achievements, she is now gearing up to surpass her own limits and establish a new standard in this tough discipline.
Her endeavor to conquer both the CMAS women’s world records, serves as not only a personal triumph. It also serves as an inspiration for women worldwide to chase their dreams, overcome obstacles, and achieve extraordinary results. All this with with deep motivation and determination.
