Years and years ago (1987?), when she was home for the holidays in LA, she dropped into one of our masters workouts. We did a set of 200yd IM's for our main set. She held back and was touching the wall just a tick back from all of us. She let us all be lured into thinking we were soooo much faster than her. On the last one she truned on her jets and blew us out of the water by more than a lap---15 0r 20 seconds. It was truly a thing of beauty to get beat like that.

WOW and WOW! And she's still doing it 20 years later!

Speaking of things of beauty, when is she going to have an internet debate about her appearance in Playboy?

In Dara's case, it was the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, and it would have happend in something like 1994.

Yup. Remeber that one. But, as we learned on the Amanda Beard thread, swimsuits - good, Nekkid - bad.

Why hasn't anyone checked all the You Tube clips of Laure Manaudou the French swim sensation? Forget Amanda Beard! It is Laure all the way!!! She looks great. And You Tube has a ton of her clips.

Check this one of her waiting for her start of a race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN2Ad5ir5v0

She's recently caused controversy in France. She got hoooked up with an Italian swimmer and wants to have his baby. She's split to Italy and swimming for this early 20 something has taken a back seat. Way back.
