No, it's 1,765 swimmers setting off from Asia, heading to Europe in the only intercontinental swimming race. Held in Istanbul, they swim across the Bosphorus, a distance of 4 miles. Delayed from July because of the 'rona, the race took place on Sunday. Masks were required before the start and during the awards and spectators were not allowed.
Participants hailed from 59 different countries, and the winner was Mustafa Seven.
