When eyeball to beady eyeball with a 10-foot-long sand tiger shark, I have two thoughts: This is not smart, and this is the coolest thing ever. As it glides by, just feet away, I’m treated to an extreme close-up of its snaggleteeth, shaped like long medieval daggers.

Today, at the Wellington Winter Championships, Commonwealth Games gold medalist Lauren Boyle was reported to have smashed a world record in the short course 1500-meter freestyle event.
Boyle, who will be competing at the Pan Pacific Championships later this month, clocked a 15:22.68 in the women’s 1500-meter freestyle.  That effort crushed Mireia Belmonte Garcia’s record of 15:26.95 set last November at the Spanish Short Course Championships.  Boyle also split an 8:08.05 at the 800-meter mark.
