Question

At the 2009 Freediving Individual World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark, and in the Bahamas, competitors from which country won 9 of the 22 medals awarded in addition to setting a world record?

Answer 1

New Zealand
Medals were: three gold (Men's Constant Weight No fins - including the world record - Men’s Static & Men’s Dynamic), four silver (Women's Constant Weight No fins, Men's Constant Weight, Women’s Static & Women’s Dynamic) and two bronze (Women’s Dynamic & Women’s Dynamic No Fins). New Zealand has not figured to the same level in later Championships. However, William Trubridge who set the world record in Constant Weight No fins, set another in 2016 which, as at 2021, still stands.
