    Italy’s Ilaria Bianchi gold winner in the women’s 100 meter butterfly at the FINA 2012 World Swimming Championships (25m) in Istanbul, Turkey. I sat beside her mother, which might explain why she’s looking this way. See the result list here

    Confession time – Once upon a time, I gave in and allowed my (teenage) swimmers to try this on the insulating swimming pool cover, after they had been begging for weeks. It was really, really fun, arranging relays and stuff on ‘dryland’ across the pool, right up until one of them went through the (old and battered) cover. He went right through and disappeared, it was still pretty funny and I guess not that dangerous … but the cover was wrecked.

    So, the next morning, I had to call the janitor and explain. Not at all as fun as running on that (expensive) piece of rubber. You’ve been warned.

    Images of a giant anaconda being photographed underwater created a stir this week on Facebook Brazil. After the amazing images were posted and shared, many Facebook users posted comments doubting the authenticity of the photographs.

    Biologist Daniel De Granville, who took the pictures, assured the G1 network that the images of the huge reptile, which he estimated to be about seven meters (23 feet), are genuine and that he captured them in the Formoso River, in Bonito, 300 km (186 miles) from Campo Grande.
