Wedding Bells In The Marathon Swimming Circuit
There will be two husband-and-wife pairs on the professional marathon swimming circuit come December 26th. Besides Christian and Nadine Reichert of Germany, Damian Blaum of Argentina is getting married to Esther Nunez Morera of Spain.What is remarkable is that Damian Blaum and Esther both placed second overall in the notoriously difficult FINA Open Water Swimming Grand Prix. Besides getting ready for their wedding this year, they had to negotiate over 333K (207 miles) while swimming in 9 marathon swims in 7 countries.
Congratulations to the young pair (shown in Dubai).
