pullbuoy LIVE at the sydney world cup

[Steve]

pullbuoy live - FINA World Cup, Sydney

Pullbuoy will be providing live coverage from poolside at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic centre as many of the world's top swimmers (e.g. Neethling, Veldhuis, Coughlin, Rupprath, Alshammer + of course Lenton, Henry, Mills, Jones etc) journey down under.

You'll be able to get all the action as it happens and can also send us your questions, either about the meet generally or to specific swimmers and we will do our best to answer them; Indeed I'm on poolside so will do my best to ask the swimmers directly if you have something you want to know

To send us your questions, to see the meet schedule and for an event preview visit the pullbuoy live page at:

By the wonders of technology I'm now sitting here on poolside at SOPAC, don't forget that you can send me questions via http://www.pullbuoy.co.uk/live

Glad you liked it, I had a blast writing them. And can I say that Nathalie Coughlin is lovely :love:

[Steve]

I'm here again, so sned me anything you'd like me to ask anyone (for example Zoe Baker is swimming tonight and I'm hoping to get a word with her.) Plus have a look at our photo gallery from last night. All at http:www.pullbuoy.co.uk/live :)

Hmm, it's working fine for me, could be an issue with the domain name on some servers.

I'm SO jealous that you got to see her in real life. You'll be telling me next that you got her email address :D

[Linny]

It works fine for me too.

You did a really fantastic job Steve, thank you for the effort you put in into sharing the experience with us. Loved your little snippets coming through and the photos are great.

And......I'm not jealous about you getting to see Natalie Coughlin although I am sure she is lovely.

You hit the nail on the head. Tara let me know during the session that she couldn't see the site and my ISP's homepage was down at the time, so I guess their DNS server went down overnight causing some ISP's to lose pullbuoy. Sincere apologies to those who wanted to see the page and couldn't, unfortunately there was nothing I could do. :(

On the plus side I'm glad not everyone was having problems and that those of you who could see the page enjoyed it. It's obviously still there if you want to catch up. I had my own photographer there this weekend so I'm just about to post another load of photos from last night And Linny, it was no effort - definitely the most fun I've ever had covering a meet. :)

That would be telling...:devil:

(OK it's not telling much, of course I didn't!)
