The Mare Nostrum live stream is alive (and fine)
I take it all back, the Barcelona guys have done a fine job with providing live stream from the 32è Trofeu Internacional Ciutat de Barcelona de Natació 2011. The quality is good, with nice graphics and everything, only I didn’t know where to find it :-)

Video: 1st Day of Mare Nostrum Barcelona 2011
A video here from the 1st day of the 32è Trofeu Internacional Ciutat de Barcelona de Natació 2011 – aka the Barcelona leg of the Mare Nostrum circuit – created by someone from the host Club Natació Sant Andreu. They call it a resumé, but that is pushing it in my view, as we don’t really see any race results. But a nice video anyhow :-)
