A little love for Dara Torres, 41 year-old swimmer and silver medalist?

[QUOTE=EJsGirl] Did you see her on the cover of Time Magazine? She looked fantastic! [/QUOTE] Dara? No, I didn’t, will have to look it up. Did you see that race where she asked the judge to delay the start b/c another swimmer’s suit had torn? Points for good sportsmanship, IMO. @Snarky, re: Anni/butterface: I dinno, she looks good in some and less so in others. I’d give points for not wearing a lot of makeup.

Henie won more Olympic and World titles than any other ladies' figure skater. She is one of only two skaters to successfully defend a ladies' singles Olympic title, the other being Katarina Witt, and her six consecutive European titles have only be...

It makes me wonder if I shouldn’t go back for journalism school, get a degree, and blaze a trail into the women’s locker room. I’d probably start with the Brazilian women’s volleyball team, work my way over to the women sprinters for Jamaica, and then…and then… ---
