Flk_d_pk is on a distinguished road
Peter Mankoc, slovenian, has won gold in Manchester at 100m butterfly. He's comming from the same club, where I trained 10 years as a kid. Beeing 7 years older than Peter, I havent had a chance to train with him, but we had the same coach. Mankoc is also a world record holder for 100m medley, and for that he was originally awarded with 500 eur, and later corrected to 4000, as it became a national scandal... as far as I'm conserned, its still a scandal with 4000 eur award for a WR.

To tell the story of how our goverment treat the sports in our country - Mankoc had to borrow the new swimsuit from his british friend Mark Foster, to win this medal!

Go Slovenia !
