Sum fyrr nevnt verður tað aftur í ár skipað fyri ‘landsdysti’ millum USA og eitt evropeiskt All-Star lið, hesuferð í Glasgow hin 20. og 21. desember 2013. Bretsku vertirnir hava nú avdúkað liðini, sum telja millum annað Ryan Lochte, Tyler Clary, Jessica Hardy og Katie Ledecky fyri USA, Florent Manaudou, Yannick Agnel, Ranomi Kromowidjojo og Mireia Belmonte fyri Evropa, og so eisini okkara Pál Joensen.
Norðurlond verða bara umboðað av donsku Lotte Friis og Jeanette Ottesen, svensku Michelle Coleman og so Pál sum mannliga, norðurlendska umboðið, men bretski landsliðsvenjarin Bill Furniss heldur tó so at hetta er ein hin sterkasta manningin sum Evropa hevur haft, hesi árini sum fyriskipað hevur verið fyri slíkum holmgongum.
“The European Allstars features by far the strongest line up we’ve ever seen in what will be the third of these exciting biennial events,” said Furniss.
“Both teams include a multitude of Olympic and World champions and medallists, and therefore the head-to-head promises to be a dramatic encounter.
“The USA are sending a very strong team so the challenge facing the Europeans will be immense but it will provide a great spectator event at the home of next year’s Commonwealth Games.”

Never before have I looked at a roster and thought, “The USA might not win.” That could very well be the case, but it depends on the level of preparation these 33 athletes have when they begin racing on December 20.
