Hey guys! I recently sat down to have a chat with the amazing five-time Olympic swimmer, Dara Torres. We talked about what she normally eats for breakfast; what she plans on doing now that she’s taking a break from competitive swimming; and her weakness for rice krispies treats, among other things.

When I heard that a 41-year-old mother would be on the USA Swim Team, I was immediately intrigued. I hightailed it over to Dara Torres’ website to learn whatever I could.

FINALLY! They should investigate the judging as well, since the U.S. team was penalized for falls when the Chinese team wasn't, but hey, who's counting? I would wonder if the IOC were blind but I don't want to insult the sightless. If it turns out that there is proof these athletes are the age they... Read More »
