  • Anyone, was Torres's Olympic times eligible for FINA Masters Records. Just wondering. FINA Masters records must be set at a meet that has been sanctioned as a Masters meet by its federation. The Olympics were not a sanctioned Masters meet hence that records is not eligible. US Masters records could be set at a recognized meet, if one wants to do the paperwork, but it would be a US record not a world record. -michael
