How do you know she will be a grandma? I do not know that she will even want to be a mother. Last time I checked, you have to be a PARENT before you can be a GRANDPARENT.

Currently - Katie and 2 other female swimmers ( Sarah Sjöström and Kaylee McKeown ) are tied for most World Record times at 4 each. And - for the fans and the world - they are all ( currently ) "battling it out" for 5 or more because they all have been in contention for the most WR's as recently as 2022 and 2023 - ( they are still breaking world record times - sometime their own ) so I think - and hope there are more to come from these 3 INCREDIBLE athletes. ( Healthy competition makes everyone better and strive for more )

6:37 Michael Phelps was 31 at Rio 2016 where he won 5/6 gold medals. Anthony Ervin was 35 when he won one more gold medal than he did in Sydney 2000 16 years prior. There is some longevity without needing to retire in the 20s.

The drug testing is not keeping up with the advances in cheating, in particular in track and field. These athletes know how to beat the tests, and the best athletes don’t seem to be tested. There are track athletes, in particular sprinters who’s times have dropped an impossible amount in a short amount of time. The US and African nations seems to have the biggest problem

ah well about the doping case, the usa has had many of these free doping use passes too, remember the 1988 olympic finals where carl lewis had tested positive earlier that year, yet he was still allowed to compete. its the smaller countries that never get passes like this (like Ben Johnson). so lets just say it all equals out between big countries like China and the USA.
