In response to "her 1500m trial at indy was the most anti-climactic five minutes to watch ever -- (link)" by hollywood big shot

She's an absolute beast. I watched a video about her and it was fascinating. She doesn't kick her legs like every other swimmer. Just one kick every

two strokes and it's not all that hard. She uses her upper body mostly and doesn't even have what they consider the best form. But others tire out before her and when she needs to kick at the end her legs are there for her.
She's amazing.
She dropped down to the 200m just to see if she could compete with the sprinters and beat them all.

Yup. ESPN's final list had her at #15 which was way too low. - Strongbad Jul 25, 08:57 1
- Yup. She should have been higher. Her records and medals are up there with the all time greats. Her only peer in swimming is Phelps. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 09:06
