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.
Regarding the different look of Dara's older pictures with the more recent ones, partly it could be the normal thinning of skin that everyone starts to get in middle age that makes her seem more defined now. I saw arecent photo of an actress who was a really big star in the 70s, still about the same weight as she was 30 years ago, but now sort of shriveled and dessicated looking due to that loss of skin thickness and thinning of the subcutaneous fat.
Forty-one seems awfully young to be getting such thin skin. I would agree that she obviously has lost a good bit of subcutaneous fat. I thought she looked great in 2000, but it does seem like her body fat it too low now.
It may have nothing to do with age but simply the fact that she has abnormally low body fat. Unfortunately, I've seen way to many young women with anorexia that have no subcutaneous fat. It definitely ages them and makes it look like they have thin skin.
Of course, each individual ages in his/her own way. If Dara has aged (the thin skin, etc.), how come she is swimming faster than she did at 20?
