The new records are 33 meters in CWT and 30 meters in CWT-B. They previously belonged to Monica Dybvik (31 meters) and Liv Berglann (29 meters).
Malin was also awarded an impressive overall women's bronze medal in Colombia – in her first apnea competition!

The competition was held according to AIDA standards, but rules allow for the records to be approved by CMAS and therefore the Norwegian Sportsdiving Federation.
Malin already has new goals in sight, and is set to take part in the French Apnea Championship held in Villefranche Sur Mer in the beginning of July.
