Yes, a swimming fan here ! Hey!

My favorite is Laure Manaudou of course :cheer:

She's so strong, 3 gold medals for her, and yesterday, 2 gold and 1 bronze medals. Yahoooo!!!

I admire her a lot. :respect:

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 ! :luvzy:

There are not a lot of Bulgarians...

everyone here was thinking of Marleen Velthuis. But yes we have a new Inge!! :stari:

she did so well and fast and seems to be a really nice bit shy girl.
