In which Vole becomes utterly jealous

This is a stunning shot from Amy and Serge Timacheff, taken at the Junior World Championships in Jordan this week. I'm jealous because I was quite pleased with the shots I took recently, and because I was quietly asked if I wanted to join the GB management for this event, and declined.

This is Marsh (GB) winning the men's epee gold medal.

Fisheye lens, right up to the piste - wonder what the settings were.

To the point

The Welsh Assembly building - astonishing.

A Welsh epeeist prepares for a fight:

Ben Hughes can't believe what's just happened.

Nor can Steve Cowen (England manager) and Matt Haynes (England coach)

Darren Campbell, Olympic medallist, pays his respects to James Davis!

So sleepy

I'm utterly exhausted. It was boys' epee today, and they all did brilliantly in a very high standard competition, so congratulations to you all. I've put more photos (of fencers, and of Stalinist tower blocks in moody black clouds) here.

I am rather missing the Guardian and Radio 4 now. Oh, and sleep.

I like Poland

I like their food, their friendliness and the way they fence. More photos here (link fixed) though they probably aren't that interesting if you don't know what a parry-riposte is (like most epeeists). Little in-joke there.

Well done to all the girls (and their supportive male 'buddies'). Congratulations especially to Miranda Stratford, who won her event convincingly.
