Russian freediver Alexey Molchanov plunged 126m (413ft) in a single breath to set a new world record at the AIDA Freediving World Championships in Limassol, Cyprus. He descended deep below the Mediterranean Sea with nothing but a headlight, two fins and a rope as a guide, in a feat considered one of the most technically challenging freedive categories. Mr Molchanov broke his own 2024 world record of 125m, during which he held his breath for a staggering four minutes and 32 seconds.
