Yes, in fact quite recently. I was a little displeased when he suggested that I could lose a pound or two - he isn't a size 8 himself, if you know what I mean.

Here's a pic from a recent "Diamond League" event.

In her case her masseter muscles are huge if not just her jaw.
I have seen examples where both the masseter and temporalis muscles are highly developed.
Some of you may remember bodybuilder Tom Platz (70s-80s) who ended up looking like he was one the Kennedy clan!
When Yelena clenches her teeth it can be quite disconcerting as the muscles ball up into knotted lumps.
Of course it is entirely possible she was just born this way.

Other examples would be good to see.
of course, nobody denies this.kurtinsc said:...
Here's the thing... most other male swimmers at the level I swam at and above also had large hands, large feet and were tall. The reason is that those trait are what was ideal for competitive swimming. I was a bit short for the top level to be honest. It's a sport tailored to tall, lean individuals with paddle like hands and feet. Those are the ones who reach the highest levels.
