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.

    Lindsay, I just told you that Spitz already tried. It's not like no one hasn't tried. Also, re read my post. I said "..... at her age". I didn't say all women worldwide. tjburk, You are correct. I brought up the comparison in my earlier post trying to explain to you that Dara was not of the stature that these women were in the 1980s. These women "owned" their events. Dara was undoubtedly fast, but did not reach the level of dominance they displayed. I'm sorry, but Dara's speed and prominence is largely shown from 2000 onward. Her previous career in the 1980s and early '90s was outstanding..... but not as great as 2000 onward. I have heard that rumor that her friend is an endocrinologist. This just doesn't sit well with all the suspicion. John Smith
