There is no denying that Federica Pellegrini is the greatest 200 freestyler in history. What makes her illustrious career so special is her approach to swimming—she’s simply doing what she loves.

024    TAKEOFF TO TOKYO: SWIMMING’S FIRST FEMALE SUPERSTAR
by John Lohn
When the Olympic Games return to Tokyo this summer, one of the highlights will be a swimming schedule that is identical for men and women, the 1500 freestyle added for the ladies and the 800 freestyle added to the program for the gentlemen. But the first four editions of swimming at the Modern Olympics did not feature equality, with women not involved until 1912—at which point Fanny Durack made a major splash.

Magnini relationship a huge stain on Fede career, totally ignored in SW puff piece. No one asks her about that?? Surprising lack of journalistic ethos with C. Lord at helm, expect better.

Masters swimming needs to join the 21st century and test their “top 12 masters swimmers” for PED’s. Not all of them are “clean.” Track and Field, cycling, and triathlon all do testing.
