U subotu, 11.10.2014, dok su izborne kampanje šutjele, je održano prvo državno takmičenje u brzinskom ronjenju i plivanju sa perajama. Domaćin, najstariji ronilački klub u BiH, ronilački klub Bosna, sa CMAS certificiranim instruktorima, je uz podršku nekoliko stranih klubova iz Mađarske, (Morena), Hrvatske te Srbije, nekako uspio da uz minimalnu logističku podršku ronilačkog saveza BiH, te Olimpijskog Bazena Sarajevo na Otoci održi (za prvi put i uzimajući u obzir pruženu podršku), poprilično uspješno takmičenje.

Takmičilo se u slijedećim konkurencijama;

50 m brzinsko ronjenje – apnea
100 m brzinsko ronjenje – sa bocom
200 m brzinsko ronjenje – sa bocom

50 m plivanje sa perajama
100 m plivanje sa perajama
200 m plivanje sa perajama
400 m plivanje sa perajama
i 400 m plivanje sa perajama štafeta.

Takmičenje je održano na Olimpijskom bazenu Sarajevo Otoci uz minimalnu sponzorsku (Red Bull), i medijsku podršku, tako da je ovaj zahtjevni i lijepi sport pao u zaborav između graditelja u duhu Gazrija, zajedničkih ujedinjenja, te ostale šutnje koja je konzumirala BiH medijsko nebo u proteklih mjesec dana.

Da se ne bih previše žalio, pisac bloga (ujedno i prvo mjesto u disciplini 50 m brzinsko ronjenje apnea sa vremenom od 29.6 s.) ovim putem moli sve koji su u prilici da podijele i kliknu ovaj blog što više puta, tako da barem s time pruže mnogo potrebnu podršku ronilačkom savezu u održavanju i promovisanju ovog sporta, te time pomognu i atlete koji se takmiče i sa sponzorima, a i sa mnogo potrebnom opremom koja nam je uskratila takmičenja na međunarodnom nivou.

Underwater battle in the middle of election campaign silence

Saturday 11.10.2014, as the election campaign silence was forced upon the runners in this years Bosnian elections, the first National Competition in fins swimming and fast-diving was held place. The host was the oldest diving club in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the diving club Bosna, having a long tradition of CMAS certificated instructors and divers.
Whit the support of local clubs like my own Scuba Star, and a few clubs from Croatia, Hungary and Serbia, the organizing body, managed somehow, whit the minimal logistical effort of the diving association of BiH and the Olympic Pool in Sarajevo on Otoci, to organize this event.

The athletes competed in following disciplines;

50 m fast diving apnea
100 m fast diving – whit air
200 m fast diving whit air

50 m swimming whit fins
100 m swimming whit fins
200 m swimming whit fins
400 m swimming whit fins
i 400 m swimming whit fins relay-race

Whit minimal media attention and one sponsor (Red Bull) this beauty full and demanding sport fell into forgiveness  among builders in the spirit of Gazri, and (dysfunctional) unity.
The races were held place in the Olympic Pool Sarajevo Otoci.

Not to consume any more necessary time, and not to whine about the state of our society, the writer of this blog (and the first place in the national competition in 50 m fast diving – apnea, whit the time of 28,6 s), calls upon all the people of good will, to share this information and to click on this blogs link as much as possible, to help us develop this beauty full sport in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The athletes had not only to fight among themselves, but whit the lack of equipment and sponsors as well, which in fact disabled us to compete on a international level.

Many thanks, Omar Muratović
