  • Killer whales chase diver and dog in New Zealand

    A diver and a dog got more than they bargained for when they found themselves incredibly close to several killer whales in New Zealand. Orcas are unknown to have ever intentionally harmed a human in the wild, nor attacked dogs … but I wouldn’t count on it ! :-)

    And btw, go further up on land, if you want to be totally safe.

    Olympic 200m freestyle and 4x100m relay champion Yannick Agnel on Friday attributed his two new records to a chocolate hazelnut spread as he took the French national short-course championships by storm. Asked to sign drug test papers just as he got out of the pool on Friday after lowering the European 800m freestyle best by just over two seconds to 7min 29.17sec, he said:

    “I told him that I was only doped up on Nutella and he could stick that on the form”

    Awesome!
