Freediving

Annelie Pompe is known for her achievements in competitive freediving. On 5 October 2010 she broke the world record in variable weight freediving, with a dive down to 126 metres.[1][2][3] She also claimed one individual silver medal and one team silver medal in the AIDA world championships.

Mountaineering

She is also a mountaineer and in May 2011 she climbed Mount Everest[4] as the first Swedish woman to summit from the north side. Despite marketing her attempt as a climb without oxygen, she did end up using bottled oxygen in order to make the summit. She has also climbed all seven Seven Summits (including Puncak Jaya, and the last one Mount Vinson in January 2016).[5]

She has been active in other sports, winning a Swedish gold medal in fitness as well as competing in adventure racing, cross country mountainbiking and running.

The general slogan is that weak functors can be replaced by strict functors between fibrant-cofibrant objects, but weak transformations can’t necessarily be replaced by strict ones. For instance, this is why the Gray tensor product is useful: it’s designed to handle strict functors and weak transformations.
