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.

    Why is she now clearly the undisputed best female physical specimen for swimming on the planet at her age? Your American bias is showing, despite the new AR she is still ranked 5th this year worldwide, same as before trials. Does the fact that she was setting WRs while not medaling at the Olympics indicate she wasn't attaining her full potential? Has she perhaps improved in this regard with experience? Has anyone else of similar talent tried Dara's training program? If no one else has even tried to do what she has then it isn't too surprising that no one else has accomplished what she has is it? Maybe she is, maybe she isn't, but the argument that no one else has done it before is a little weak if no one else has tried. On the other side, some asked what more can she do to prove her innocence? Documenting her training and perhaps helping duplicate it with someone else would be one approach.
