Thank you, Tex. I think you're right--they're leaves or petals. When will he swim competitively again? It's almost April; must be time for big meets again.
Yeah, that's the big question. There really isn't any news on him. The VIC and NSW state championships have already been completed so he won't be in the AUS championships, so no World Championships in June (unless there is another way to get there, but I don't think there is). I guess he's aiming for Glasgow 2014, but that is so far away. I am hoping he's working hard for an awesome comeback and hasn't lost his motivation since not making London '12.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know that a swimmer has to qualify for Worlds through his own national championships, but that makes perfect sense. Still, it's a little odd that a serious swimmer wouldn't compete in his own nationals. Glasgow 2014 is the Commonwealth Games, eh. But he'll have to compete in something before then.
& relinquish my right to be recognized with my partner by the state in a civil marriage, forfeit MANY normal rights afforded those couples who are straight; did i just wake up one morning in my middle school years, & decide i wanted my co-students to think i was abnormal, so i would then suffer sever anxiety at the moment when i knew recess started, b/c thats when i was beaten, tormented, terrified, and made to feel worthless. Does the religious right SERIOUSLY think i spontaneously chose that
Well said; but w/out insinuating anything about Ian, other gay men like myself have suffered or even continue to suffer debilitating depression & in many cases it is battling the feelings inside yourself & in dealing w/ being born gay vs homophobes worldwide who insist that gay is a sin & a choice, standing w/o merit in judgement w/ their disparaging & homophobic statements. The greatest %age of teen suicide is overwhelmingly young gay men. My reply to a person saying I chose to be gay:
My reply to a person who alleges gay is a choice, and I only bring this up, b/c if the worst of worst homophobes, those who judge when they shouldn't be, got past this next statement from me, then maybe, just maybe the majority of gay men would no longer suffer depression hearing in society that they chose to be gay and that they are going to hell. Here's what I tell ppl, rather ask them. Do you seriously think I literally woke up one am and decided i want to no longer like women and..
please upload when the documentary will be realised

What are those streaks on his arm when he gets out of the water??
i hope he makes the '13 worlds team
I think they are just things that had fallen off of trees nearby he picked up swimming. I noticed the water wasn't very clean when he was swimming.

sometimes I really hate living in England!
I know Ian's a big man but why put him in what looks like a toy chair?
I hate being in Germany because i can´t watch the documentary!
