The relay is fun but that didn't make it into the Olympics. Maybe next time ...

Gold: Magdburg

Silver: Magdeburg

Bronze: Italy

 

The U.S. isn’t the only country that helps foreign athletes to „steal“ medals from their own athletes.

 

The current was very challenging and led to huge gaps. I wonder if pool swimmers will have a disadvantage in the men’s race tomorrow. Guys like Raszovsky or Olivier might be favored.

Quite close last lap in men's event.
