    More than two million people in Russia celebrated the feast of Epiphany, taking part in traditional bathing by immersing themselves in icy waters.

    Photo unfortunately a bit blurry, but I’m pretty sure that this is that sailor again from Szczecin 2011, now at the FINA 2012 World Swimming Championships (25m) in Istanbul, Turkey. Very possibly RadosÅ‚aw KawÄ™cki’s coach.
