  • Whyte won’t let whip from wave wipe her out

    Confession, this story got through here mostly because of the title. Happy that this is not a podcast, right now. Via WinonaDailyNews.com:

    As the boat busted through the lake water, the second wave turned out to be a doozy.

    So much so, it would change the next three months of Morgan Whyte’s life.

    “We hit the second wave and I twisted backward, still holding onto the thing (tube),” Whyte said. “I kind of got whipped off. I didn’t feel anything.

    “People ask me if I heard it crack or anything. I didn’t hear anything. I thought it was fine, then I looked at my (right) arm and it was moving back and forth. You could see the broken bones (pushing at the skin). It was gross.”

  • Do you know why there are so many swimming events ?

    Silver medallist Alexander Dale OenThe European Swimming Federation LEN today announced the 2011 Len Athletes of the Year, elected by representatives of the 51 LEN Member Federations as well as aquatic journalists from all over Europe. In the pool swimming category, the men’s award was decided by a margin of very few votes in favour of Norway’s Alexander Dale Oen, while Italy’s Federica Pellegrini easily won the women’s award. In the open water swimming category, Germany’s Thomas Lurz won as easily the men’s award, and Great Britain’s Keri-Anne Payne the women’s award. Now, that will make a pretty picture in Szczecin in December :-)
