Dara Torres-Amazing

Iwannafly, Your logic is amusing. So tell me, if a drug is new and not on the banned list because some carribean drug lab has developed it and it's 5-8 years ahead of the curve and currently distributing to elite level athletes that end up breaking records, you think this is not cheating.......... Nice. tjburk, Look at the pattern until 2000. No individual events at The Games. This is what I mean by "owning" or "not owning" your event. She has always been talented and fast. She was never of the stature of the other people I listed. Gold Los Angeles 1984 4x100 m freestyle relay Gold Barcelona 1992 4x100 m freestyle relay Gold Sydney 2000 4x100 m freestyle relay Gold Sydney 2000 4x100 m medley relay Silver Seoul 1988 4x100 m medley relay Bronze Seoul 1988 4x100 m freestyle relay Bronze Sydney 2000 50 m freestyle Bronze Sydney 2000 100 m freestyle Bronze Sydney 2000 100 m butterfly So what you are saying is that she has to have a gold at the Olympics to own that event? Setting the WR does not constitute owning it? I personally think that having the World Record.....even if only for a few minutes still qualifies for ownership, because up to that point in time......NOBODY else had ever gone that fast.....just my opinion of course
