  • Shock, European coaches busted for spying on Magnussen

    Australian media is alive with the news that James Magnussen’s coach Brant Best recently caught two men secretly timing and recording details of their training session, taking split times and everything (!).

    “There have been people sitting in the grandstands. A couple came in the other week and were looking and timing.”

    Oh the horror, for as we have learned in October, Magnussen skipped the World Cup circuit and everything, choosing rather to train in secret and race in some small time, local events, to keep his rivals guessing.

    Read for instance The Telegraph and Herald Sun.

    I’ll give it to Sawrymovitcz that it is extremely impressive to come back like that, World Champion in 2007 and European Short Course Champion with a 14:24.54 the same year, and then pretty much nothing until he swam a 14:29.81 during prelims here in Szczecin yesterday morning. Pál chose to race for gold in the final, and when that pace turned out to be too much, then he lost the silver and bronze again. Ah well, everything or nothing. See result list here.

    At least that is who I think it is, Serbian swimmer Caba Siladji (or Csaba Szilágyi) of Hungarian origin, who for instance qualified for the 50 breaststroke semi-final this morning. Courtesy of the organizers of the Szczecin 2011 European Short Course Swimming Championships.
