Tom Sietas

When people first see Tom Sietas, they do not usually notice anything special. He is not very tall, and he is not particularly well-built. But those factors help Tom to do something incredible. Tom has the world record for static apnea. In other words, Tom can hold his breath underwater, without moving, for just over 22 minutes. He only discovered his ability by accident when he went diving in Jamaica at the age of 18. Because he is not very big, it means that he does not need to get a lot of oxygen to his muscles. And it helps that his lungs are 20 % larger than is usual for his height and build. But it is not only a question of his body. His personality plays a big part in his success, too. Thought processes use a lot of oxygen. So it is important that Tom  is calm and patient. Luckily, he rarely gets nervous in the water. In fact, Tom is so calm that he occasionally falls asleep underwater. Obviously, he always trains very carefully to prepare for a new record because what he does is highly dangerous. We are waiting this year to see what he does next. Are we expecting another record attempt? Definitely!

Judit Polgar

People are always saying that geniuses are born, not made I want to prove that it is not true! This was the obsession of a Hungarian teacher called Laszlo Polgar. To prove that he could make someone a genius, he took his three daughters out of school and started to teach them a specialist subject – chess. One of the three, Judit, is now the greatest female chess player of all time and the only woman so far to be in the world top 10! Laszlo himself wasn’t a great chess player, but he was a clever teacher. At first, Judit's sisters were better than her, but she gradually became more serious about playing. At first, she played just ten minutes a day. When she was 12, it had increased to ten hours. At 15 she was the youngest grandmaster ever. To win at chess, you need to be confident, hard-working and a little bit selfish. Judit's wins include victories against 10 male world champions, including Kasparov and Karpov. Thanks to Judit, little by little, people are starting to pay more attention to women chess players.
