“I want to dedicate this record to Sayuri. She was an amazing person, a great soul and the strongest competitor when competing in the deep. I miss you very much and you are always in our hearts,” – An emotional Zecchini said.

The record was approved after anti-doping tests were carried out and all formalities were followed.
