Guizhou athlete sets new record in freediving

Ning Jingyu, from Duyun city of Guizhou province, recently set a new Chinese record for women's CWT (Constant Weight Freediving) during the 2024 CMAS World Cup depth series held in the Philippines.

Freediving requires athletes to hold their breath and dive into the water without the use of oxygen equipment. It is considered one of the most dangerous extreme sports, testing athletes' physical fitness, mental strength and diving skills.
