CC photo #97: The Roma 2009 ‘spider cam’
OK, not sure that this is an actual Spidercam, but it behaved pretty much in the same way, running along cables high over the Rome 2009 World Aquatic Championships pool. Pulled by hand, I’ve been told, but still cool :-) Update – a pro tells me this is a ‘wirecam’. Makes sense! :-)

Me and Jón Brian Hvidfeldt, professional reporter and good friend, commentating the 2009 Faroese (Short Course) Championships.

I think the monitor shows our big star Pál Joensen and young gun Magnus Jákupsson, so that’s a lucky shot…
