I received an email from Nuno Gomes’ friends informing me of a new world record he set in
Egypt last month. A portion of the email: “The shot line was measured under controlled conditions using impartial
observers. The official measurement is 318.25 metres sea water. This is a new world record.” You may remember Nuno from
a previous post of mine. His last record was 282m set in
Boesmansgat.
318.25 meters? That’s 1043ft. Talk about deep. Nuno and team, if you are out there, congratulations.
