Oussama Mellouli, Garret Weber-Gale og Cameron van der Burgh skriva og leggja myndir á Twitter úr Dubai. Nýggjar dagføringar, ella ‘tweets’, eru at finna í boksini “Tutl og tvætl úr svimjiheiminum” ovast til høgru.
“Barely made it on the plane this morning. On my way to Dubai now. Bring on the heat!!”
Garret luttekur í 4×100 frí mikumorgun og 100 frí leygarmorgun. 100 frí er uppá avboð frá einum øðrum svimjara.
“Dark. Laying in bed. Ears serenaded by chant from some man praying outside my window. Exotic. Pleasing. New. Intrigued by culture in Dubai”
Cameron svimur 100 bringu mikumorgun, 50 bringa leygarmorgun og møguliga 4×100 blandað sunnumorgun.
“Arrived in Dubai. Little chilli! Great flight!”
