Yeah, he actually looks a lot older than he is.

Good luck to all the home countries competing but particularly to the Welsh boys.

Nice looking river, when do they put the fish in?

What is it that gives the water the turquoise colour? I noticed the same colouring in the lakes up in the Canadian Rockies.

WF, I can only think that it's to do with glacial melt/river bed, because many rivers in alpine countries are exactly the same colour, as are some of the waters in Iceland.
No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong.
