Passé composé ou imparfait?

On a recent writing challenge I encountered the following:

I've always admired their courage and their dedication.

Kwizbot's answer:

J'ai toujours admiré leur courage et leur dévouement.

Your answer:

Je toujours admirais leur courage et leur dévouement.
I'm not sure I understand why this is P.C. and not imparfait?  The English sentence to me implies that he is still admiring, not that the act of admiring is over.  I guess it could be interpreted in two ways?  Thoughts anyone? Merci!
