Dara Torres

What were you doing in 1984?

Some of you weren't even born yet, but Dara Torres was swimming in her first Olympics as a teenager. Now she is 41 and qualified for her 5th Olympic team. During the trials she not only came in first in both the 50m and 100m freestyle but she also broke the American Record. Below is her 50m freestyle race during finals of the Olympic trials in Omaha, Neb.





A 1/2 second lead in the 50m freestyle at Olympic Trials! Amazing!

Thanks samlynn8 for pointing out this amazing race!
