Swimmers coming to Cologne

From the Sydney Star Observer, an interview with swimmer Corey Buckman:

Q: What is your greatest sporting moment? Why?
A: Winning eight medals at the 2002 Gay Games. I had a great result and the support from friends was amazing.

Q: What motivates you to keep going?
A: What motivates me to keep going at the moment is my focus on the Gay Games in Cologne in August 2010 and the support of my partner, family and friends.

Q: Are you single or in a relationship? Does your partner participate in sport? Which one?
A: I have been with my partner James for six years. James participates in cycling and will be competing in cycling in Cologne.
And in Metro Weekly, a profile of Project Runway's Jack Mackenroth:

METRO WEEKLY: Your bio tempts me to divide you into three parts: swimming, fashion and activism. I know the least about the swimming.

JACK MACKENROTH: I started swimming competitively when I was 6. I come from a swimming family -- brother, sister, we all swam. I started taking it seriously when I was about 12. When I moved to New York, I started swimming with Team New York Aquatics, which is the gay masters-level team there. I recently went to the Out Games in Copenhagen and I won eight medals. I'm training right now for the Gay Games, this July and August in Cologne, Germany. I'm a sprinter now, because I'm too old to do anything else. [Laughs.] I'm a sprint breaststroker and sprint freestyler.
