The very fact that she cowardly then retired when about to be suspended takes all the shine away from her surprise achievements. It taints it and I'd not be surprised if her samples are tested in the future and come back positive.

JMott76 That's true. Ruta Meilutyte has the WR in the this event, set in 2013. I think its a 1.04.3 so almost a second faster than King's time

[@liberalegypt]

Meilutyte in kazan 2015 went a 1:05:64 but she will win in rio 2016 if she Retrieve her level in barcelona 2013

[@jillianreid8173]

For those people who say that black people cant swim, look at african american olympic swimmers. Just because some of us dont swim, doesnt mean that we cant or that we're afraid. Im black and I even taught myself how to swim, since i was very young. So next time you say that black people are afraid, or we cant, show some proof.

[@awesomeratfilms]

African's are built different, so it makes it harder for them to swim competitively. Although Cullen Jones did get silver, it is just a bit harder for them to swim fast.

[@jillianreid8173]

Awesomerat​ its not just Africans its everybody. Everybody is made built different

[@awesomeratfilms]

jillian Reid Haha I mean how black's muscles and fat are made up. I know everyone is built different, but Africans are not exacly built for swimming.

[@edwardjones2202]

Calm down you own most sports and you age slowly. Don't be greedy.

[@jackward8734]

It is actually biological - Caucasoid & Mongoloid 'builds' are more suited to swimming - More streamlined as our pelvic muscles make the run from our back to our bums less pronounced, generally narrower at the hip... Also lighter bones, African-Americans have a higher bone mass/weight. Just like Blacks are built with an advantage for sprinting, non-blacks genetic make-up is advantageous for swimming. Of course that is all general, all individual cases are different. Ignore the retards saying "blacks can't swim" or "whites can't jump"... Enith Brigitha (amazing black Dutch swimmer) and Jonathan Edwards (white man who has jumped further than anybody in history) would have something to say to them.
