Bill D ~ Yes!

The young lady is from South Africa and her first name is Natalie; can't recall her last name. She was a highly competitive "regular" swimmer, world-class or nearly so, before the auto accident that led to her amputation. She switched to the newer, lesser-known sport of open-water or "marathon" swimming because the technizque relies more on upper-body strength and less on kicking than does racing in the pool.

She's staying in China to complete in the Paralympics, which are coming up very soon. Seems to me she'll be pretty much unbeatable on that level of competition.
