It 's a drama in which he plays himself that Gianluca Genoni, underwater world record in constant weight and variable and static apnea, presented this morning to the students of "Pantani" . That projected for pupils in the first three classes of high school sports and high school "Olga Fiorni" is a preview of 40 minutes, in which clips are collected from the eight episodes produced television in Argentina, which has chosen as the sample bustocco protagonist. It is no coincidence that the meeting with the athlete was included in the program of Busto Arsizio Film Festival (Baff): no time would be better suited to "promote" the series for the small screen, he sees Genoni a journey to return to the Red Sea in order to place a plaque at the point where he has established, in 2006, his last world record set in variable, reaching 141 meters deep. The set is then set in three different places: his Busto Arsizio, Liguria, a region in which the athlete trains and has achieved most of its records, and finally Egypt, where he remained seven days in order to succeed to place the plate on the bottom reminiscent of his record and that will remain as a "reference point for divers that there will plunge, "said the champion. To make the plot more engaging fiction also helps the discussion with his partner Paola, who has scheduled other commitments with her boyfriend and does not want and then let him go. This is, in short, a story that alternates between "normal life in parts of diving companies," said Emilio Bottini, one of the leaders of Baff. The series also allows you to enjoy the "very beautiful bottoms" of the Red Sea, as observed by Genoni, stressing the contrast with "the dirt outside: May we start to clean and maintain order in this beautiful place, unfortunately ruined by the rudeness of the people '.
Genoni has not failed to tell the children the path that led him to explore the depths, after practicing competitive swimming up to 20 years, when he started to dive in the pool for "a challenge with your friends, to see who managed to stay underwater longer. " It 's so that he decided to dedicate himself to, in 1996 scoring his first world record in tilting, falling to 106 meters with a weight of 130 pounds and then go back with fins and arm strength. A record marked just in Syracuse, the city of another great Italian diver Enzo Maiorca. The athlete is then focused on the physical characteristics that promote apnea, as a good lung capacity and a low heart rate: in the case of Genoni, 40 beats per minute at rest. Qualities that allow the bustocco able to stay underwater without breathing for 18 minutes, by which time he made his record in static apnea ossigeno.Quanto the many months of training to be able to score a record, " the preparation is very long, but it is essential to be able to do everything safely, "he pointed out the athlete, who is accompanied in his descent into the sea by a team of divers and has decided to leave the dive" no limits "after an incident which saw him pass out on the sea: it is, inter alia, an specialties in which "other athletes were injured."
Genoni has even tried to dive to Cervinia to 60 feet below the ice at a height of more than 3 thousand and a lake on Mount Everest, more than 5 thousand meters high, which could not resist diving in over 2 minutes "for cold water and lack of oxygen." A sign that is "impossible to sport over 5 thousand meters, where you just have to try to survive."
