Well, her results are what matters, and so far her results have been good? Though it would be interesting to see the difference in her performance if she undergoes a stricter diet to shed some bodyfat. But who would have the balls to perform such an experiment with our best swimmer? Don't fix anything that ain't broken, right?

Sadly that seems to be the prevalent mentality around here. We need more Tao Lis to begin with.

Well i believe theres a optimal body composition.
She was compared to Libby Trickett being 1 second behind..

why add dead weight? trainer vs athlete is on different level, where 1% performance advantage is a btwn 1st and 4th.
What if she did lose the bodyfat.. would she be on par or better than Trickett?

Libby Trickett -

Look at the difference.

World #1 heavyweight mma fighter.Not that lean either..but..

Weib · Post by **Weib** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 12:09 am

Then that photo was when she was bulking?

But you're missing the point of the discussion. I don't blame her, i'm questioning what is the nutritionist and the sport school doing?

1 second is a long time in elite level sports - most layman don't think its that far away but it is.
1 second can be 1st and 5th effectively, can be from world record to national record.

If she had been leaner, would she be on par with Trickett?
The impression i get is that body composition is not being emphasized and obvious it does matter where speed is concern.
Any amount of dead weight should be eliminated.

She could win me for all i care because i'm not a national athlete nor a contender.

louis, if you are unhappy, get a swimmer and groom him/her and win something in singapore/sea or something. sad to say, i think this is the only way to get recognised.

atm, i have 1 client at 80kg from 62kg. i win.

aaron · Post by **aaron** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 12:44 am

hahaha kevin you damn lame lol.

hmm im not too sure abt tao li, but marcus' not fat cos i swam with him before lol. you know how fucked up singapore's system is and whats the point of simply reiterating that. my former coach in track and field was a german olympic thrower and she used to teach me halfsquats back when i was under her, so what can we do?

but honestly i tend to sway towards what goi said, if it aint broken dont try fixing it because ive seen friends who were pretty damn competitive with sui sui timings, go cut abit lose mojo dio own by me but i think one off case also.

if you've tried competing at a national lvl, perhaps youd know that body composition is the last thing on the coaches' mind, at least for sports ive experience in.

day in day out we get drilled on technical aspects, watch videos replaying and replaying, practise techniques then strength train, simply perhaps cos at such an activity level the coaches expect the body to be conditioned to a certain lvl, and the body composition to readjust itself to optimal performance.

i agree with you, but theres honestly nothing we can do lol.

just a side note, Darra Torres is on The Zone. Phelp's diet is super high process carbs, it is said that if he goes on the zone, his performance will greatly increase. The needs of an athlete vs an 80 year old lady varies in degree not kinds.
