But after the rest day, the ocean showed its true character. Shifting currents tested athletes and organizers alike, slowing the pace and forcing everyone to adapt. The changing conditions caused significant delays and eventually led to the cancellation of the final part of the competition. Despite these challenges, the event became something truly remarkable. <b>Two World Records and eight National Records<\/b> were set, with the spotlight firmly on the incredible <b>Nataliia Zharkova<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>After several years without training or competing, Nataliia returned to competition in spectacular fashion. She first descended to a new <b>World Record of 112 m CWTB<\/b>, and later added another World Record with a <b>106 m FIM<\/b> dive. Both performances were executed with remarkable control and her trademark mental strength. The conditions in which she set these records were, to say the least, extremely challenging.
