Never, ever give up

[Art Mann]

In the pitch-black night, stung by jellyfish, choking on salt water, singing to herself, hallucinating ... Diana Nyad just kept on swimming. And that's how she finally achieved her lifetime goal as an athlete: an extreme 100-mile swim from Cuba to Florida -- at age 64. Hear her story.

Diana Nyad is now facing backlash over her record-breaking 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida as other members of the small community of marathon swimmers are questioning whether she cheated.
On social media and the online Marathon Swimmers Forum, long-distance swimmers have been debating whether 64-year-old Nyad got a boost from the boat that was accompanying her - either by getting in it or holding onto it - during a particularly speedy stretch of her swim.
They also question whether she violated the traditions of her sport - many follow strict guidelines known as the English Channel rules - by using a specialized mask and wetsuit to protect herself from jellyfish.
'When you know how hard it is, you kind of want those details,' said Andrew Malinak, a Seattle long-distance swimmer who crunched the data available from the GPS positions tracked on Nyad's website and concluded that he didn't trust what he saw.

If she cheated then she doesn't deserve all the praise being given too her but if she did it properly she's a winner in my books.

Jesus she made it at 64. Leave her alone.

She's incredible in my books.
