Yeah that was a shame about the swimmer... had read about that the other day although I'd never heard his name before.

The pictures of him though? He was in fantastic shape and so experienced... wonder what the hell happened.

The conditions were brutal for open water that day. 100 degree temps 85 degree water.

FINA should be ashamed of themselves for not canceling the event.

I read upper 80's on the water temp. It doesn't take much to pass out when exerting in those temps. Really sad.

Yeah I've read anywhere from 83-87. Ridiculous.
