How to Stay Warm in Freezing Water
A 1½ year old video but still interesting …
A fearless passer-by jumped into frigid waters to save two dogs fighting for their lives after they fell through the ice. Stripped to just his shorts and with his own golden retriever at his side, Timofey Yuriev cut a path through the ice on Irvington Reservoir, New York, after spotting the animals on Saturday. With the ice broken, the two dogs were able to swim to safety. Their owner watched anxiously from the edge. “I’m the luckiest person in the world,” she is heard saying in video of the rescue.

Tokyo opens 15,000-seat Olympic aquatics centre
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike finally inaugurated on Saturday the Aquatics Centre for next year’s rescheduled Olympics, seven months after it was supposed to open.
The Aquatics Centre was due to officially open on March 22 but that event was cancelled over coronavirus fears. Two days later the entire Tokyo Games was postponed until 2021.
Organisers hope to welcome the world’s top swimmers and divers to the centre next year, as well as up to 15,000 fans. Organisers have yet to decide, however, whether supporters will be allowed into venues during the Games.
The opening ceremony, with hundreds of officials in attendance, struck a hopeful tone. Koike was keen to stress that the $523 million Aquatics Centre will benefit Tokyo residents as well as Olympic athletes.
