Dara Torres just made history. I just watched her take on the best female swimmers in the U.S. at the Omaha Olympic Trials and win--WIN!--the 100 meter free. Not bad for a retired mom. Okay, so she retired from a career of winning Olympic medals in swimming, but this chick is 41 and has a toddler.
You'd figure that, to out swim kids half her age in a fast-twitch sprint of a swim, she'd be in great shape. And you'd be right. I think the picture below demonstrates that she has definitely gotten her pre-baby body back.
In winning, Dara earned a spot at Beijing and will become the only 5 Time Olympic Swimmer ever. She's going to make the women's swimming events even more interesting--a great Rocky V style comeback story. What a badass.
