    Faroe Island’s Pรกl Joensen and Denmark’s National Training Center head coach Shannon Rollason after the men’s 1500 freestyle final at the 15th FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Going through split times and evaluating the race. Pรกl was seventh in both the 800 and the 1500, we were hoping for more but are happy with this.
