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. 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 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. In mountaineering she was also observed for her false claim to summit Shisha Pangma in September 2009. Some mountaineers noticed inaccuracies in Pompe's initial report, which was reported second hand by her friend who ran her blog and had bad connection via satellite telephone. The blog said they reached the "summit", while they actually reached "the north summit", some 24 meters lower than the main summit. She has also climbed all seven Seven Summits (including Puncak Jaya, and the last one Mount Vinson in January 2016).
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.
