Behold Eamon Sullivan’s amazing Rhytmic Gymnastics routine
Via SwimmingWorld
Swimmers are never known to be graceful creatures on land, but Sullivan did his best to put down that stereotype in this rhythmic gymnastics routine featuring a hoop. Sullivan’s one-minute performance might not get him an Olympic medal, but it does impress with some daring flips. And we can’t neglect to mention the stylish eye makeup in the Australian green and gold colors. Unfortunately, rhythmic gymnastics is a female-only sport, but Sullivan definitely makes a case for men to join in as well!
This as part of the Australian game show A League of Their Own. And he definitely is!

Danish swim chief puzzled as no swimmer is nominated for Athlete of the Year
Story (in Danish) here on BT, via SwimNews.dk. My attempt to translate follows …
An eyebrow or two were raised when the Danish Sports Federation Monday morning announced the names of the three nominees for Athlete of the Year 2013. Besides [Le Mans legend] Tom Kristensen, the two relatively unknown athletes archer Maja Jager and skeet shooter Jesper Hansen are nominated for one of Denmark’s most prestigious awards. A fact that surprised most people.
