World Aquatic Championships

The swimmers and divers have finally gotten their time on mainstream media with the commencement of the World Aquatic Championships in Rome, Italy

This weekend and into mid next week, the divers will be going at it in the pool. Since this is the World's, there are 1 m, 3 m and 10 m events. China is NOT going to sweep the golds in Rome, because they've already lost a couple to the Russians and Mexicans. I do hope the Chinese do well though. The Canadians, led by Alexandre Despatie have already won a bronze (10 m men's synchro). Another highlight to watch will be Tom Daley, the 15 year old from Team GB. Always loved the guy's style, and combined with his age, int'l competitions with him are always interesting.

The Blue Jays won behind Doc Halladay this afternoon in a quick game, final score being 3-1. We are still below .500 right now and I think the team's performance between now and the trade deadline will really determine whether Halladay stays or goes. I would love to see him at least complete the season here in Toronto!

I have an orientation session for volunteering at the Rogers Cup of tennis in Toronto next month. That should be an amazing experience, though I do prefer to see the men in action though. Nonetheless, I've nothing to complain about.
