GERMAN GIANT CHRISTOPH FILDEBRANDT COMPETES
German Championships in Berlin, the final of the 00m freestyle men with Christoph Fildebrandt, Markus Deibler, Benjamin Strong, Paul Biedermann, Marco di Carli, Dimitri Colupaev, Björn Hornikel, Steffen Deibler, Maximilian and Oswald Matthias Lindenbauer, all of whom are total hotties.  Of course it is all in German, a language I spent a lot of money and time to learn in college. How much of it can I translate for you? NOTHING!  What a waste of effort I put into those dumb college courses. Four years of college German and all I can remember to say is "Where is the restroom?"
