Innsbruck, Austria, 3 March 2023 - The 10th AIDA Tyrolean Apnea Cup / Austrian Championship has concluded and the results are in. The 10th AIDA Tyrolean Apnea Cup took place in the picturesque 25m USI Innsbruck swimming pool located 550m above sea level, complete with an impressive view of the Austrian Alps.

The first Tyrolean Apnea Cup took place in February 2013 and was created by Wolfgang Hagleitner from www.alpnoe.org. This competition allows AIDA Austria to discover and build a team of talented athletes since there is not currently an AIDA Austrian team. Austrian freedivers are welcome to participate in these competitions as traveling and competing in world championship events can be too costly.

This year, 24 athletes gathered from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic to compete in STA and DNF.

 

The winners in each discipline are as follows:
