    Got this link from a source in London, revealing that, yes, the 23rd James Bond film Skyfall will involve some swimming, or at least some sitting by the pool. Due out in October-December this year.

    The LEN 2008 European Short Course Championships pool in Rijeka, Croatia. Absolutely beautiful, and what an atmosphere it was, with all those records (never mind the suits :-)

    Good to see that they’ve got the OMEGA OSB11 starting blocks in the game, but … what’s with those briefs, and where are the ‘racing systems’ ? :-P

  • Danish camp boosting Sierra Nevada’s altitude with hypoxic tents

    Rikke Møller Petersen and Lotte Friis presenting the altitude tent here, that they are supposed to sleep in together for two weeks, boosting the Sierra Nevada altitude from approximately 2500 meters (8200 feet) to about 3000 (9850 feet). Maybe (and I’m speculating here) it has something to do with stabilizing altitude also, with the perceived altitude at Sierra Nevada varying a lot because of the mountains (2300 meters one day, 2700 the next), compared to much more stable altitude at camps on big plateaus like Flagstaff, Arizona.
