ESPN has come up with a ranking of "toughest" sports and swimming seems, at least to me, to come up a bit short.

Of course, since it ranks Badminton as equal with Nordic Skiing, it MUST be right. ;)

Yes, you could say that Yoshi had some speed when he was young: he's the 1952 Olympic 100 back champion, and a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame! I've watched Yoshi swim for years in meets in the Great Lakes Zone, and he never fails to amaze. Plus, he's a genuinely nice man!
