I can flat out declare that Nyad may be the greatest liar in the history of sports. Yes, she swore off lying almost 50 years ago. But can you believe a compulsive liar who says they've stopped lying?

That's much more productive than anything Nyad ever did.

On the other hand, if Nyad had come out instead of Barbie, we could've called it Fraudenheimer.
