Este nadador de 99 años acaba de romper casualmente un récord mundial de estilo libre

By Anonymous -

Nunca es demasiado tarde para romper un récord.

El nadador australiano George Corones hizo exactamente eso el miércoles por la noche, rompiendo el récord mundial en el estilo libre de 50 metros en su grupo de edad en las pruebas de natación de Commonwealth Games en Gold Coast.

El jugador de 99 años ingresó con un tiempo de 56.12 segundos, y fue el único competidor en el grupo de edad de 100-104.

Los organizadores de los ensayos le dieron a Corones la oportunidad de romper el récord mundial, que fue establecido previamente por el nadador canadiense fallecido Jaring Timmerman en 2009 con un tiempo de 1 minuto y 16.92 segundos.

En las competiciones de másters, los atletas compiten en el grupo de edad al que acuden ese año. Corones cumplirá 100 años en abril.

"¡Acabamos de presenciar la historia en formación!" el equipo de natación de los Dolphins australianos publicó en Facebook.



Corones le dijo a Quest Newspapers en enero que solo comenzó a nadar a la edad de 80 años, y se sorprendería si al menos no tuviera una buena oportunidad en el disco.

"Me sorprendería si no puedo romper el minuto. Estoy tratando de nadar 58 (segundos)", dijo Corones. Bueno, él realmente lo rompió, y probablemente nos derrotaría a la mayoría de nosotros, seamos sinceros.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

 NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
