Teen crowned fastest text messager in Sweden

STOCKHOLM (AFP) - Michael Phelps, swim your heart out. When it comes to
text messaging, no one can beat My Svensson -- at least in her native
Sweden.The 17-year-old student needed only 61 seconds to write a
141-character SMS message rich in crisp words and snappy punctuation to
claim the Swedish text messaging championship, sponsored by a Swedish
telecoms operator.

"I was very tense in the finals when I realised how much money I could
win," said My, who plans to use her 25,000 krona (2,650 euro, 3,900
dollar) prize for a holiday in France, the Dagens Nyheter newspaper
reported Saturday.

My -- who out-thumbed her nearest rival by seven seconds --
nevertheless failed to surpass her personal best of 50 seconds,
achieved during the semi-finals.
