If you followed me last year (and are from outside the Netherlands) you might remember this.
Van der Weijden eventually had to stop after 55 hours and having swum 163km.
Today he has started another attempt. This should be international news in my opinion.

Just over 10 months later and Maarten van der Weijden is SWIMMING the route of the Elfstedentocht again - it is actually 196km.
He began at 5.30pm (6 hours ago) and has passed his first city (of 11).

If Van der Weijden achieves this, he is expected to finish at 7.30pm on Monday (after 74 hours).
It is for charity (he raised 5 million euros in 2018) and there is a website here where you can donate (and follow the livestream or get live updates).
