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 :-)

There IS a live stream from Barcelona (!)
Turns out that there is a live video streaming transmission from Barcelona, found here on lshunter.tv, and even better directly here from Esport3. Sorry for bad comments then, earlier, I just couldn’t find the link on www.marenostrumswim.com. Via SwimNews.dk.

Garrett Weber-Gale will be a chef at Noma ?
Interesting tweet here from Garrett Weber-Gale. I won’t introduce him, since everyone reading this should know who he is, but Rene Redzepi is as much a world star, in charge of Noma, the world’s best restaurant for the second year in a row (which happens to use Faroese langoustine for their seafood recipes).
Flight booked to Copenhagen. Heading to stage w @reneredzepinoma at Noma for 3wks of August. No 1 restaurant in world the past 2 yrs. Ahhh!!less than a minute ago via HootSuite

Belgrade 2011 will be streamed LIVE
UPDATE: Belgrade 2011 LIVE feed is here on belgrade2011.rs, completely free and working! The links below might not work, though.
Poltiming LTD announces today that they will be transmitting live from the European Junior Swimming and Diving Championships in Belgrade this summer, on www.poltiming-live.pl and www.facebook.com/streamit.live. They were also in charge of the live transmission from Helsinki 2010, so I guess they know what they are doing. Diving will be from June 29th until July 3rd, and swimming from July 6th until July 10th.

DISC has great live streaming (Mare Nostrum has not)
Eagerly waiting for the Mare Nostrum 2011 to begin, I read in other news that the Vattenfall Swim Cup 2011 has started, aka the Danish International Swim Cup, with livetiming from both pools and HD live streaming from finals. Finals that are by the way very nicely dressed-up, with light-show and loud music and everything. -
Save yourself from Great Whites with AC/DC
Australian divers have found that Great White Sharks are much less aggressive when listening to AC/DC – particularly ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’. Only problem being in my view, that they at the same time become ‘investigative’, up to the point where they rub their face on the sound source (note to self: have a de-attachable sound source, and don’t sing along!) Read more here on abc.net.au.
“Their behaviour was more investigative, more inquisitive and a lot less aggressive – they actually came past in a couple of occasions when we had the speaker in the water and rubbed their face along the speaker which was really bizarre.”
