Yesterday in TÃ³rshavn (Thor’s Harbour, our capitol), I was elected president of the Faroe Islands Swimming Association.

Sorry about this site being so dead these days. I’m on a family holiday to Lake Garda in Italy and back, which meant that there wasn’t time while driving, and then unfortunately bad internet here at the camp site. We will be back in Denmark late Saturday, though still on holiday. In the meantime, please…

Uh oh, the Skype connection was unexpectedly weak, but here is me talking with SwimmingWorld’s Jeff Commings about Faroese swimming, PÃ¡l, Magnus, Danes, Herning 2013 and Rio 2016. Afterwards I feel I should explained myself way better, but then it would just be even more minutes of me stammering :-P

Again, sorry for not posting more here, despite of being in the middle of it all. Back home they are busy with our National holiday, and here I’m doing all sort of irrelevant things instead of sitting down to blog. Like watching those awesome high-divers.

Awesome find by Bartal, from August 2012 … Until he set that record, Sun had flown under the radar. He shouldnâ€™t haveâ€”his time from the meet in Australia was a sign heâ€™d dominate in London.
