Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

Holding a WR in any event pretty much indicates that you "own" that event for the time being. If Michael Phelps wins Silver in the 400IM but the gold medalist does not break the WR, I would consider Phelps to still "own" that event.
When was the last time Janet Evans swam the 800Free? She still holds the record and still "owns" that event IMHO.
The Olympics is just another meet, albeit a grandiose one. Is a WR only good for as long as you can continue to swim it?
