Russian expatriate Andrey Kirichenko has once again proven his dominance when it comes to traditional ‘breath-holding’ challenges, clinching first place for the second consecutive week … for a second-year-in-a-row.
His double delight came once again competing in the popular Shaikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Challenge – part of the Nasser Bin Hamad Marine Heritage Season.
The 36-year-old businessman, who lives in Qadam with his Bahraini wife Fatima, stunned spectators by holding his breath underwater for 5.8 minutes, smashing his own previous record and securing the top spot among 50 competitors of various nationalities.
