Top of the Finswimmers: Alvaro Hugo Polo

Alvaro Hugo Polo is maybe the best South American Finswimmer. He has a long carreer, although he had to stop for 4 years due to operation to his knees after a bad accident. Now he is came back to take his revenge, obviously we are speaking about the Sport! Infact Alvaro was second at World Championships in Saint Petersburg this year.

Finswimming Teams ready for Asian Indoor Games

The 2009 Asian Indoor Games are hold in Vietnam on 30 October – 8 November, 2009. It will be the third and the last annual Asian Indoor Games (AIGs) event before merging with Asian Martial Arts Games. The mascot of the 2009 event is the Ho chicken (Gà Hồ), a distinctly Vietnamese rare breed of chicken, familiar as a symbol in Vietnam. According to folklore, the chicken (particularly the rooster) has the five qualities of a man of honour: literacy, martial arts, physical strength, humanity and loyalty. The symbolism in the context of the AIGs is that the Ho chicken rising himself to welcome the sun is likened to the readiness of the sports industry of Vietnam to host this major event.
