    Ice-swimming enthusiasts in the Siberian city of Omsk welcomed winter with the season’s first freezing dip. Dozens of locals, who call themselves ‘walruses’, gathered at the bank of the Irtysh River to participate in an amateur race or simply to brave the 3C (37.4F) waters. The air temperature hovered at around zero (32F). The youngest member of the local ‘walruses’ club, 19-year-old Viktor, also celebrated the new season by setting his own personal record, staying in the water for five minutes straight.

    But John Millerโ€™s father asked why 51-year-old Donte Beenie left Miller to die on Gilbert Avenue in Walnut Hills after striking him with his car.

    โ€œWhat kind of person does that?โ€ Millerโ€™s father, Kevin, said at Beenieโ€™s sentencing Monday in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

    โ€œI forgive you, but I do not feel sorry for you,โ€ he added.

    The Courier Mailโ€™s Robert Craddock speaks with Olympic swimming champion Ariarne Titmus about where she may have gotten her โ€œfightโ€.

    Ms Titmus spoke at the Courier-Mailโ€™s Future Brisbane editorial campaign and event on Friday which explored how the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games can be a catalyst for improving liveability across the city.

    She had suffered complications at birth where the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and she had struggled to breathe.

    โ€œI believe that thereโ€™s something inside of me that kind of got me going โ€“ I couldโ€™ve not made it but I believe that Iโ€™ve kind of carried that throughout my life,โ€ she told Mr Craddock.

    โ€œAnd I feel like I have that fight when I race and not just in swimming but me as a person.โ€
