I am looking for a list of Olympian Masters and what Olympics and events they particpated in. If you have such a list or know where one is, please let me know. Individual anecdotes are OK too.
Background:
I want to write to "Splash" magazine and ask them to feature some of the people on such a list when they write about great swimmers. I'm tired of reading (and having my kids read) about so-and-so great swimmer, who got to the Olympics, did great, and now swimming is behind them (i.e. they don't swim anymore). On the "mission statement" of Splash, they give lip service to a lifelong involvement with swimming, but they never seem to come up with an example of such a person.

I could not find any reference to Gail Roper and outright accusations against another poster. Yes I did detective work on this because I did not recall reading any of this. I will admit that I did not read the posts in fat swimmers. What I did find was only one reference and that is in post 42 and 43 of thread on fat swimmers. It seemed like a fair question at the time. forums.usms.org/showthread.php
Gail's accusatory post and my responsive post (and several others responding to Gail) were subsequently deleted at my request after I reported Gail's post. Her post clearly violated the forum rules.
