EC swimming, yeah!!! gold for "our" Pieter

well, I actually "like" swimming because....summer is such boring without figure skating and here is finally a sport our country is doing quite good. our Pieterke van den Hoogenband won gold!
and look...look at the strong arms of Laure Manaudou!! she did wonderful today

probably there are other fans????

Yes, a swimming fan here !

My favorite is Laure Manaudou of course She's so strong, 3 gold medals for her, and yesterday, 2 gold and 1 bronze medals. I admire her a lot.

I find Polish swimmers very strong too, and German team too (especially girls).

And when I see a Romanian swimmer, I'm thinking about Alex, and if I see a Russian one, I'm thinking about Val ! There are not a lot of Bulgarians...

And I remember Inge de Bruijn. What is she doing now ?

I don't know much about this sport. But I have noticed it yesterday. I was at a friend and she was watching Eurosport. So, inevitably, I watched it too. I find this sport very, very interesting. It actually caught my attention. Unfortunatelly I know too little. As for names....none

No, there are not... they're not so strong and did not pass the qualifications.
I like swimming too, but I like more the diving - it's a very interesting and intense discipline too

OK, thank you for the news !
And what do you think about Inge Dekker ? She's strong I find.

to be honest I didn't know her before she won gold everyone here was thinking of Marleen Velthuis. But yes we have a new Inge!! she did so well and fast and seems to be a really nice bit shy girl.

yes, I like both...because of our swimmers and the really strong girls I like swimming and because of the beauty I like diving

there was a Bulgarian girl in diving Daria Romenskaya and one in the swimming, Aleksandra Herasimenia, she won silver at the backstyle

Oh, no, Rachel, they're not Bulgarian, they're from Belarus.

o, stupid me I thougt it was...Bulgaria.... *but wich country is Belarus? I'm running to the map* It's between Russia and Poland?
we call Belarus White-Russia, I didn't know the English name...

sorry Vania for my mistake

Wow 15 medals for France ! And 7 for Laure Manaudou (4 gold and 3 bronze medals). I knew that she's very strong, but I'm always surprised. And she has beaten her world record. She's really incredible.

But I don't know which country wins the more of medals. Maybe you know that Rachel ?
