		</div><p>A Czech freediver has set a world record for men swimming under ice.</p>
<p>David Vencl swam 80.9 metres (265ft) holding his breath on Tuesday. In this category, freedivers cannot use any fin, diving suit, cap or weights.</p>
<p>The previous record was 76.2 metres (250ft) by Stig Severinsen of Denmark in April 2013, according to Guinness World Records.</p>
<p>Vencl took one minute and 35 seconds for the record at a lake in Lahost in the northern Czech Republic.</p>
<p>“It was faster than I expected, I felt great,” he said.</p>
<p>“I knew for sure that I will swim the 80 metres but, of course, that weight of the moment was the only thing that was tiring me down a little bit.”</p>
<p>Organisers said the ice was at least 30cm (12in) thick, a condition for the record to be recognised.</p>
