I think it appropriate we begin with this:
Diana Nyad completes record-setting Cuba-to-Florida swim
American 64-year-old long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad today became the first person to swim across the Florida Straits from Cuba without a shark cage, succeeding on her fifth attempt at the feat.
Nyad came ashore about 1 p.m. Chicago time, 53 hours after she set off from Havana, completing the estimated 110-mile journey and setting a record for the longest ocean swim without a shark cage or flippers, according to her crew. ...

Kicking Back Comments: I recall first introducing this topic back in 2011 with "What a crock" where I take particular aim at the FIFA age restriction of 45 years.
This more than ever resonates with me as I turn 45 later this year.
That said, now is not the time for that particular discussion, just wait until December.
Now however is the time to celebrate, a truly inspiring moment in modern sports history.
She did have one comment among many that resonated with me ...
“There is, it looks like a solitary sport, but it’s a team," Nyad concluded.
Every feel that ay in the center circle waiting to start the game?

Congratulation to Ms. Nyad!
