It appears that Swimming World came out with the first Top 12 World Masters Swimmers.
Seems a little strange that there are only 2 people under the age of 50 on this list. Is there an age requirement here that we don't know about?
Where is the Evil Paul Smith's name on this list? He sets at least one National or World Record almost every year.
John Smith

They are friends......You don't really believe that Paul took time out during his races to reach under the lanelines to punch someone do you?....

Well, “Dude”
People tend to get a little crazy when it comes to competition. Hence, Tonya Harding and soccer fans killing players for poor plays etc.. So, would I surprised if someone told me that an athlete tried to sabotage another during a race, or retaliate after one? The answer would be no, I would not be surprised.
If he went 45.9 after doing that ....then he must be superman or somethin?......The G.Smith/Evil Smith thing is just a friendly comradery thing.
First of all, I did not know their times for that particular race in question. Although a 45.9 in a 100 free is fast however, I do believe there are others much faster in existence and they easily could strike someone in such a fashion and still pull off a 45.9. They would not have to be superman, just man. Its not that I am gullible, its just that I have seen things much more outrageous than the story you told.
I am glad to hear that the Smith's are friends.
