    As mentioned in May, the Danish Swimming Federation made a new 4-year contract with national coach Paulus Wildeboer, to (on his request) be ‘only’ head coach of the National Training Center (NTC), while another person would be appointed national head coach. Yesterday, the Danish Swimming Federation announced that until there is a solution to the national head coach challenge, that position will be handled by director Pia Holmen Christensen and newly appointed sports director Mikkel von Seelen.

    Two weeks after his tragic and far too early death, American swimmer Fran Crippen was remembered at the FINA 2010 World Cup event in Stockholm, Sweden.

    GoPro released a new camera yesterday, with built-in wi-fi and breathtaking shot. And no, I’m still not affiliated … would be really fast though if they asked me ;-)

    I knew the bike ride was going to be difficult but I don’t think I realised quite how hard it would be. It was without a doubt the hardest challenge I’ve ever done. The first day was 80 miles, which was hardcore to say the least. Unfortunately, Jo Jackson and I weren’t feeling too great and Jo had a little fall on the bike too. But, true to form, she got straight back on and carried on.
