BREATHLESS ($50,000 – $70,000)

On June 14, 2025, in a quiet pool in Opatija, Croatia, freediver Vitomir Maričić took a deep breath and didn’t surface again for 29 minutes and 3 seconds!

With a hundred spectators watching in stunned silence, Maričić crushed the previous world record of 24 minutes and 37 seconds, set by fellow Croatian Budimir Šobat in 2021.

Fueled by 10 minutes of pure oxygen beforehand, the feat pushed the boundaries of human endurance.

To put it in perspective: Maričić held his breath longer than a bottlenose dolphin and came close to matching a harbor seal. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
