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.
For those that think Ms. Torres was unusually ripped looking in that starting block photo - have you ever seen Inge de Bruijn in similar situations? Inky is equally fit looking.
As for Dara's new US record and huge margin of victory over the field....Dara's still four tenths off Inky's record from 2000. And why are the rest of the girls so damn slow that Dara beats them by seven tenths?
So maybe another mystery is why the USA's women were so slow in the 50. We know Natalie wasn't there but she was soundly beaten at worlds in the 50. Did Dara have a special mojo to psyche them all out?
Here's Inge.
EDIT: Link didn't work, just a moment, looking for a picture I remember specifically.

3rd row, second from the left.
Dan,
I agree, her body is now looking similar to Inky's body.
Didn't Amy Van Dyken accuse Inky of being more male than female...... :-)
Then.... again..... didn't Amy get called into the Balco trial at one point too?

Well we all get "there" in the end K, it's why our eyes get worse with age too...to protect us...too bad for you suckers who did lasik..you're gonna get to see it all; warts and all! LOL
I emailed my hubby to say that I will be looking like this soon. . .
I know I have big guns but. . . isn't there a chance I'll look more like the little ole lady? :shakeshead:
I remember commenting about her stellar bod to one of the age group coaches who promptly responded, "Ewwwww. . . She's too big - HUGE!" 'Course, what was really ironic was that he was about 300 pounds and very out of shape.
This is so often the response of the non-swimming male athlete or non-athlete. :shakeshead:
Hofffam rocks!! :groovy:
I really think you just scarred me for life! :eek:

you can't...when you come off you will lose the benefits...at least with steroids.
Look at the Guvernator. Looks like he lost a lot of the benefit.
Visually think Conan vs Predator/Commando still in shape but a very noticeable difference.
I really think you just scarred me for life! :eek:
