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

  • Well Mr. Goodsmith, Rich Abrahams came up short against the women. His :27.92 WR in the 60-64 age group would have gotten 29th in the Women's 50 Fly at the WC in Montreal. The 16th place time in the consolation heat was :27.52 and the 8th place time was :27.23. I notice that Rich's seed time was :27.50 so maybe he was a little off or the Women's 50 Fly was more competitive and better than the 50 Free. Your quote "better to have good vibrant subject to throw around. Keeps the forum Interesting". I don't know about this. Why you just set the record for having the fastest thread closed with only 3 postings. The only reason I know this is because I had a nice post response to that thread and then when I was done and submitted the reply it came back CLOSED. All that time wasted for nothing. Locked out posts are bad because you will be in the race for the most annoying USMS poster and you don't want that. I have been party to a couple of them, but there is 1 person that been a party to everyone but 1 and now 2 with yours.
