Wow... it was pretty exciting tonight.

Dara Torres was anchor on the Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay Final. It was pretty amazing watching her close it out for 2nd place(Silver). It was not a given by any stretch. Her previous 3 relay swimmers left a deficit that she could only close, not catch... for the Gold.

Going for Gold - 8/15/08 - Women's 50m Freestyle - Heat 10


Go Dara, Go!

Torres is arguably a better story given she is old enough to have birthed Phelps and 2/3 of the swimmers she goes up against.

She also didn't win and that makes all the difference.
