Homar Leuci's Record Freediving Attempt While Cycling

This is Italian athlete Homer Lucci. He has a long track record in the world of free diving

In order to be successful in his sport, he must use a technique known as apnea, which

is about learning to hold your breath for very long periods of time. And he has put

in his breath-holding abilities to the test with this record attempt

Before he goes under the water, he's doing what's known as the breathe up

This is a specialist technique which should only be tried under the supervision of qualified

free diving instructors. The aim is to completely empty his lungs of residual air before completely

filling them with fresh air. Of course, he isn't just holding his breath, he's also

exerting himself because he's cycling. But just how far can he go on this static cycling machine whilst underwater and holding

his breath

An incredible 855 metres
