    Birkerød, Denmark. Tonight, Sigma Swim arranged a fun and spectator friendly “War Of The Great Danes,” in connection with their annual sponsor event.

    Six of the best Danish male swimmers competed in an elimination challenge, consisting of five rounds of 50 meter sprints, starting every 3 minutes. The swim stroke was decided by luck of the draw; and after each round, the slowest swimmer was eliminated. […]

    In the end, it was Faroese born Magnus Jakupsson who proved the strongest, winning the final against London 2012 Olympian Daniel Skaaning. Magnus is Danish champion in the 50, 100 and 200 backstroke, and Danish record holder in the 50 backstroke, which undoubtedly was helpful when the last draw turned out to be backstroke. But Skaaning still holds the Danish junior record in the 100 backstroke, and is known as a fighter, making the duel quite even until Magnus hit the wall in 25.46 to Daniel’s 25.93 (short course meters).
