This is her fifth Olympics and at forty-one years old, shell be the oldest in the pool but that isnt discouraging Dara Torres. Torres took home gold in her first and only event at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and now has a total of 9 medals in her collection: 4 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze. Five of those medals were won in Sydney in 2000 and she was the oldest member of the entire Olympic team (this year a 56-year-old shooter is the oldest). Torres hasnt been swimming the entire 24 years since her 1984 Los Angeles Olympic debut, in fact she retired twice, but this comeback has proved to be her best. Just 15 months after giving birth to her first child, Torres broke her own record in the 100-meter freestyle at the U.S. Nationals, which marked her 14th win at these events. She will be competing in the 50m free and 4×100 free relay. Check her out on Saturday (8/9) during the Primetime hours (8pm-12am) and Saturday (8/16) from 7:30pm-10:00pm.
