I recall once in 1994, sitting at a school bench on a warm Friday afternoon, wishing the time would go by so I could go to swimming practice at the municipal swimming pool. (Grew up in Newcastle, KZN. Sea was 4 hours away!) A picture drawn in pen on the school bench caught my eye. It was a grave stone. On it there was the following inscription: ¨In memory of those who sat here, waiting for the bell to ring...¨ That stone was definately in my memory, and I am sure lots of others before and after me.
It´s been a hard day for me, but here´s my version of what happened as published on wavescape.co.za. Working on some slideshow highlights in the meantime. Coverage of the event by Zigzag was epic and Silver Bullet Productions did an amazing job by uploading timely highlight clips of every heat. In fact, by twelve o´clock South African time they were all loaded on Youtube.
