yes...:)

 

I thought they were not available in Italy...and instead I can watch that without any restriction...:cheer:

 

p.s. I expected a slightly better picture quality (in Italy we can only see the NFL Thursday Night Football among the top sport events for now -next year we're going to have also the Soccer European Champions League...it will be a good test for our broadband connection system)...

I mean, it's quite good, but not so spectacular as it might (should) be...

 

p.s. I read that Swimming Australia have signed a 2-year contract with Amazon...so, also next year we're going to watch this event on APV...

Lithuania just held a championship for swimmers born in 2007-2009

 

Žygimantas Tautvydas broke the U13 national records in 50m, 100m, 200m Freestyle, 

 

Augustė Jakštaitė in 100m and 200m backstroke as well. 

 

So many age group records have fallen over the past couple of years and it's mostly credited to Meilutytė's Olympic run.

 

The facilities improved a lot, the state started running a programme teaching children to swim and a fair few of them continue to do it professionally, so nearly every U13, U15 and U17 record has been bettered in the past decade. Really interesting how all of these swimmers will translate the results into senior competition.
