Birindelli disqualified, apparently.

Dear Lord, may he rest in peace. I am so sad--I am in tears.

Actually, it makes it better. People that drown in warm weather have almost no chance. People who drown in frozen/nearly frozen water pull through over here quite often; again, we had a case recently of a boy that had been under water (he had broken through the ice) for over an hour--and survived.

It has been my experience that very few Italians really know how to swim--at least the ones that I have met. Also, the water must have been very cold...wouldn't take long to succomb to that. I once jumped into a canal in December (I was retrieving a duck) and it literally took my breath...

If the lake was extremely cold, he would have next to no vital signs, amico mio.

Ahhh, OK.

The fact that it's so cold works in his favor. We have had people who were under the water for an hour survive.

Amica mia, That lake must be freezing--why did the coaches, etc let them go...do they know?

Who won? :)

First place, baby. :D
