    Doctors at Odense University Hospital, where the European Ironman Champion remains, have reported that they have begun to lower Pedersen’s sleeping medication and will begin the process to waken her. While Pedersen remains in a critical condition, she is more stable than before. This process can take up to two weeks.

    Doctors have also reported that within the first week of lowering medication, it will become clearly for them to predict the damage that has occurred and therefore what, if any, long term effect will be a result.

    My setup for a Skype interview, talking with SwimmingWorld’s Jeff Commings on the Morning Swim Show about the Faroe Isles and Pál and Danes and stuff. Yes, the stacked books between the table and the box was just to add a bit more excitement :-P

  • Should Ice Swimming Be In The Olympics?

    A good question here on Open Water Swimming

    One of the most fascinating topics at the 2012 Global Open Water Swimming Conference in Long Beach, California was the discussion on how to get ice swimming into the Winter Olympics.

    Those discussions will undoubtedly continue at the 2013 Global Open Water Swimming Conference in Cork, Ireland. In addition to the Summer Olympics goal of athletes to go higher, faster, stronger, many events of the Winter Olympics have a high element of daredevil feats and inherent risk.
