Simma.nu/dk has an interesting notice from Danish broadcaster TV2’s sport host and commentator Michael Stærke, that TV2 will go ‘all in’ on the LEN 2013 European Short Course Championships in Herning in December, broadcasting everything including prelims, finals and pre- and post-session shows. TV2 will be mustering what they see as their strongest team, with journalists, experts and technicians handpicked to have the best people possible around the pool. And because of this, they want to let the Danes know that there is swimming on the schedule, with more focus on swimming this fall, more opportunities to have swimming in the news, and crew also present every day at the upcoming Danish Short Course Champs, 14-17 November 2013. Because of this, he asks the Danish swimming community to contact him with whatever swim stories they find interesting, and for everyone to remember to buy tickets for Herning 2013.

With no water yet in the Herning 2013 venue, the organizers recently jumped the gun and arranged a ‘dryland swimming’ fun event, as seen in the video below. Too bad there are no subtitles, the commentators are awesome, describing her shock when realizing that there are also male competitors in the final, and going over her lousy start but awesome turn in the replay. Jeanette herself says when asked how she ranks this victory, that she is totally speechless, can hardly breathe, that this is her biggest victory ever.
