She's an inspiration. She talks about age, but forgets to mention health. I guess health issues, at any age, are the real challenges. Issues that have to be worked around and which, sometimes, prevent us from swimming all the styles.
I do believe what she does is the result of hard work and proper exercises.
I am still young (29yo) but 9 years ago I thought I reached my top. Well, 6 months ago I had back surgery and could hardly walk. After that,I've been suggested by my neurosurgeon to swim and now my body is amazingly strong and I have much more stamina than years ago when I was doing lots of sports too. Now I listen to my body and I am sure, with a bit of more luck I deserve, that I will be improving more. GO DARA xx!
It shows what genes, training, and massage therapy can do. Now if she used Buteyko Breathing Therapy, she may not have to cheat with the asthma inhaler.
it shows what performance enhancers can do. ive swam division 1 for 2 years now and have been swimming for 13 years. there is now way in hell that woman is clean. shes taking something. she has to be. i know so many girls that peak when they're 16-18. and to be going best times at 40 right after you had a baby is completely ridiculous. myself and a lot of other swimmers really doubt her cleanliness.
...but you have probably never had a Barefoot Deep Tissue Massage and Resistance Stretching for hours a day. Check out the video where Ed Moses tried it and then broke a record. Also you probably never had a baby/ extra estrogen to loosen your ligaments for a better ankle flex. The sad thing is that she is ruining her lungs with inhalers; Buteyko therapy could take her off the asthma meds.
people need to lay off her back. shes been blessed and just because you've never seen anyone in the world do what she can do at her age doesn't mean she is cheating.
she broke a world record when she was about 14, and if you think she took steroids when she was fourteen you are insane
Just because you don't have the ability to do what she is doing doesn't mean you have the right to dog on her. She has had a crazy amount of testing done and has been clean every time. So shut up and face the facts Dara Torres is an amazing athlete with an amazing herat that drives her to be this good. She works hard for what she wants.
