Miss Von Der Lippe has now made the 100m fly in addition to the 100m breastroke Olympic Trial cuts..... a 1:02 approximately 2 tenths under the cut.
The oldest women at trials.
She is amazing.

Not another swimmer over 40. I thought this is not possible.
Hard to believe but athletes can compete over 40.
Paul I happen to know a few athletes that are older and have great respect for those who accomplish amazing things in their 40s, Dara and Susan included.
Although not a swimmer I refer to a great hockey player Gordie Howe. Who was a star into his 50s www.hockeydb.com/.../pdisplay.php3
Paul a lot of your points are lost. Do you think I am not agreeing Susan is doing well? Skill and age sometimes shows no matter what the age. Here is Gordie at 50 playing against the Russians www.youtube.com/watch
After all I think Dara is clean what about you?
