Steel.
After twenty-six years of lay-off I commenced swimming a grand total of two hours per week. I'm older than Dara,and I have met her though she wouldn't know me from Adam.
I have almost equaled my fifty meter freestyle of 24.3, equaling Dara. So in this instance I believe it is possible with her advanced refined training and unique physique.
Mark Spitz in just a couple of months almost qualified at age forty.
Women lose their peak, not due to physiological factors but due to social and psychological factors IMHO.
