mare nostrum swim meet

Mare Nostrum International Swimming in Monaco, In 2000, the Mare Nostrum International Swimming competition in Monaco was the setting for the first meeting of Prince Albert II and the woman who would one day become his princess. While we can't guarantee romance for every spectator, there will certainly be as much electricity in the air as some of the best swimmers in the world take to the pool at the Stade Louis II.

The elite of the sport will be gathering in Monaco for the final episode of the three-stage international swimming meet, earlier legs of which are held in Barcelona and Canet. Prizes totalling €21000 are awarded at a Gala dinner on the Sunday.Among the notable entries this year are a number of recent World Champions including Australia's Marieke Guehrer (2009 50m butterfly World Champion), Brent Hayden from Canada (2007 100m freestyle World Champion), and - from Princess Charlene's South Africa - Cameron van der Burgh (2009 50m breaststroke World Champion).

Continuing this gallery of sporting heroes, France is represented by Camille Muffat (200m freestyle World Champion), Great Britain by Liam Tancock (50m backstroke World Champion), and Sweden by Therese Alshammar (2011 50m freestyle World Champion).

And that's only the start. More than a dozen countries are participating, with several of them sending national teams. If you don't have tickets to see the swimming at the London Olympics, this is the next best thing!

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013, Kardashians leave no stones unturned in making their annual Christmas card as larger than life as possible, but for this Christmas, they might have gone a tad overboard as it cost $250,000 for their latest move of self-glorification; obviously the Kardashian Klan didn’t shell out a penny for it. You can see big hair and high fashion but the card shows no Lamar, Scott, Kanye or Rob. Kim Kardashian was more than excited to see the concept of the new card, as she mentioned trying new things was something that excited her the most. Before the shoot, the entire family was seen sitting around in their robes and jammies, discussing the previous Christmas holidays, presents and much, sipping their favorite champagne throughout the time. The Drama The off-beat or rather intricate Christmas card shows us the five sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with their parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner. They are seen in...
