Torres out of 100

So now making the finals at Olympic trials is the same as winning 9 olympic medals ? And since progress in training makes no difference I should start believing that I was a better Freestyle swimmer than Mark Spitz ? My times were better just a little more than a decade later. Every 200 Free Finalist at this year's trials is a better swimmer than 2xtime Gold Medalist Daniel Loader ? Dennis is a great swimmer, but he is workhorse - he is a "dog" (out of the cats and dogs interview about swimmers) who has to work for everything. I bet you anything that there are countless swimmers at all levels (even Olympic) out there who are cats - trained like dogs - and hated swimming for it. What exactly is the "allowable" time difference to previous best times ? Just so I know for this summer.
