With the advent of Libby Lenton's 51.91 WR in the 100m free. I propose a swim off and battle of the sexes.
Paul "the evil" Smith (45) representing Bobby Riggs
vs.
Libby Lenton (20) as Billie Jean King.
My money rests on the female.
John Smith

But I think that adults need to model tolerance and help kids become more accepting of diversity, not insulate them from it.
I wish more people in this world were as mature as this!
How True! You hit it on the head, descrimination against people for their gender orientation, looking different, etc.. is extremely childish behavior!
well stated. :)
This in itself is a testament to swimming and why everyone should admire it as the ultimate sport!.. how mature and cool all swimmers are! ah haaaaa!;)
