  • Mads Glæsner: ‘Wildeboer ruined my Olympics’

    Quote this article (in Danish) on Sporten.dk. According to the now 1500 freestyle short course world champion Mads Glæsner, the Danish male swimmers were ‘sacrificed’ for the female, their last 6 months of training downgraded with all focus instead on the needs of the women.

    – ‘Paulus didn’t hide that the training was not prepared for swimmers training outside his group. He told us this a couple of days before the Olympics. That the training was planned and arranged for a few swimmers, and that the rest of us could just tag along. This information I had trouble with getting just a few days before the Olympics, says Glæsner with resentment in his voice.’

    Looks awesome, but I guess it is quite a lot slower than real flight. Via Laughing Squid
