Still getting it done it seems after the knee surgery.

I for one hope she makes it to London. I think its a long shot as much of her competition wasn't rested for the meet, and she doesn't swim a lot of yards so I'm not sure how much a taper will help her.

I doubt she makes it, since she is 50 free only now. Someone younger than 30 has to be faster than her!

But no doubt Dara is a remarkable athlete. I think it is hard to say whether her training will produce a good taper or not. I think some of the more science oriented coaches train sprinters in an intense way that should still produce benefits during a taper - without the traditional distance/time in the pool. I would like to see what her workouts are like.

Maybe she'll change her mind about the 100. I think she still could make the team and give the ladies a hand on the relay in London.
