Today [September 11] on just day two of the “mini-comp” before the 2013 AIDA Individual Depth World Championships, in Kalamata, Greece, Jeanine Grasmeijer of Holland set her first world record (WR) in the freediving discipline of Free Immersion (FIM) and in doing so she has become the youngest female to ever set a world record (pending doping tests). The 20 year-old Dutch freediver, Grasmeijer, successfully descended down a line 90 meters and returned to the surface exactly four minutes and 19 seconds later to be greeted by a white card from the judges.
