    OK, so I’m not 100% sure this is French swimmer Sophie de Ronchi, but the face and ring and necklace fits, and the event could very well be when she (Sophie de Ronchi) won bronze in the women’s 200 IM at the Rijeka 2008 European Short Course Championships. See result list here

    “It was absolutely the best water conditions in a few months (So-Cal standard of course). The ocean was so lively. There was so much fish I have never seen before. I did not bring my speargun since I came out to test my Hero3 and 2.”

    What is it with swimmers and scooters ? Read for instance TNT

    Sullivan was drinking in Gowler, at a friendโ€™s wedding on October 18, when it is it is alleged that Sullivan asked for a spin on a pensionerโ€™s mobility scooter and that during this spin said scooter was crashed into a table and where it injured two people.

    Sullivanโ€™s management says: โ€œEamon was in Gowler for a friendโ€™s wedding. Whilst it is apparent that an accident occurred there is not evidence that Eamon was the party responsible for any such accident.
