…and captures the 50m Freestyle win in American Record time. How cool is that? But, don’t expect to see her swim in both the 100m and 50m in Bejing. She most likely will only be competing in the 50m where she has the best chance to win a Gold medal. Either way – she’s secured her spot as America’s sweetheart.

…Look no further than the US Women’s Swim team. Dara Torres has secured herself a spot in the 2008 Olympics at age 41. Torres is the comeback kid of these Olympics – resuming her career while she was pregnant with her now two year old daughter, and winning the Olympic Trial finals in the 100m freestyle only .02 seconds off her best time. This will be her 5th Olympics. Torres is truly an inspiration to women everywhere…and someone I’ll be watching (and cheering for) come August!
