So, it's ok for the likes of Phelps, Lochte, Coughlin to keep improving as they get older but not one's that are in the late teen's to early 20's to have breakout preformances as the nationals, where one would hope to have a breakout preformance.
Sounds a bit lordish to me to say that an 18 year old can't make a time drop.
You're making it sound like this drop is attributed to youth. It's not. Hehn is nearing 30 and also skipped the 1:07. There is an Italian girl who also, after putting on a Jaked, skipped the 1:07. I'm just saying: It is the swimsuit. Not the swimmer. Hehn can't break mid-108 and then goes 1:06? That's the swimsuit. Carlson's best is a low 8 and then goes 1:06-midish. That's the swimsuit.
