    Professional photographer Mike Burdon spent 22 months into a project that no one has
    ever done before: Taking skydiving underwater to create spectacular photographs. Really nice in a weird way :-)

    Melanie Olhaus secured a date with Chad Le Clos after bunking off school earlier this year to greet the South African Olympic team as they returned home. At the airport, Melanie, 17, held up a sign asking ‘Chad will you be my matric dance date?’ And, after spotting the sign, the 20-year-old swimmer agreed. Awesome.

    The magnificent Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Sports Complex during pre-competition training just before the Dubai 2010 World Short Course Swimming Championships began, venue of the Dubai 2012 World Cup leg these days. This view just below from where the sheiks sat, but actually all seats were bolstered VIP seats, only they got better and better with carpets and flower pots and everything :-)

    Cameron Van der Burgh shares his thoughts and feelings on the forthcoming Fina Arena Swimming World Cup, his triumphant summer and Dubai. Interesting that his coach apparently still is Dirk Lange, former national coach of South Africa who went back to Germany and then let go again from that position. CVDB calls him ‘the best coach in the world‘.

    It is going swell for Anthony Ervin, his Indiegogo fundraiser has already reached $4,000 of the $10,000 goal, with him assigned to write three songs, including one for (duuh duuh) Anonymous. There he got another $100, still 29 days to go, maybe he will get to write a whole album :-)
