Torres, Phelps, Lochte, and Hoff are all freaks of nature. Lochte had 16 minutes between the 200 back and 200 I.M and still went two of the fastest times ever recorded. Not to mention he has a bad ankle from a skateboarding accident 5 weeks ago.

What Forde fails to mention is that Torres is swimming against mostly high school and collegiate swimmers. She has an advantage in that her life primarily focuses on training. She spends over 100k/year on a personal trainer and masseuse. She's a FIVE time Olympian and skipped two Olympics or she would've more than likely been to seven.

IMO, she is one of those rare genetic freaks who found the right sport and has excelled through pure talent and hard work. She deserves nothing but accolades and that article was an absolute embarrassment and further justifies my belief that Pat Forde is nothing but a shock journalist and fat, greasy douchebag.
