Atleast a couple of the Chinese gymnasts seem very young in physical appearance. even younger in how the carry and present themselves. They are supposed to be 16 or older and their passports indicate such. I just don't believe.
Dara Torres is a miracle. She does admit to needing a little more recovery time between events than when she was younger. She can really move in the water and very hot out of the water. She is submitting to tedting for drugs way beyond any requirements for any other athlete. She does not want any suspicions to hang over her head.
Some of the younger swimmers look very powerful, especially in the shoulders and ...oh their entire bodies. Wow!
I watched the weightlifting. Altho Melanie Roach took only 6th in her division, she just plain looked happy with every lift. Those smaller (I think she was in 155# class) were unbelievable. They did not appear to have tremendous muscles, but were lifting well over double their body weight. Un------- believable. How I would love to meet up with any one of them.
I just tuned (3:20 am) in to see end of match between Serena and somebody else. She shows more muscle than those weight lifters. I wonder how much she lifts.
And oh yeah, how bout the beach volleyballers. Oh my goodness.
I'm looking forward to track & field.
