Inderdaad, na het lezen van zijn boek doen deze beelden je wel wat. Hele knappe prestatie en grappig ook hoe hij vanaf het begin eigenlijk helemaal niet in beeld is, laat staan genoemd wordt als potentiele winnaar.
This is not the best footage of this moment. Friend and colleague Pieter van den Hoogenband was present in the Dutch commentary booth. The video of his amazement and cheering for Maarten, man, just priceless!
The red stuff Davis is 'drinking' at 1'00" is energy gel. Easier to take during a race than solid food and much more carbohydrates than a cup of powerdrink.
i know whats funny is there they are swimming at my kind of full speed and i can keep it up for a few lengths they can do it for 10km (which is about 700 of my pools length lol)

Es un error no permitir insertar el video en otros sitios. No fomenta la difusion del deporte realmente. Lamentable decision.
