Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
Van Dyken does not bring grace to the pool and describes herself as mean and stubborn.

Van Dyken's behavior after the 100 Free in Atlanta was deplorable. Her pouting and crying was an embarassment to the USA Swimming. Noone remembers this because 6 days later she had won 4 gold medals, but I sure do. Calling Ingy a man was just lame, too.
The link above describes a story how, two weeks before the Olympics she saw old high school teammates in a mall. She went up to them and pointedly said, "I am swimming 5 events in the Olympics, what are you up to?" This is a sign of a person who just doesn't get it. My response would have been, "and yet I am still more secure than you..."
Enough on VanDyken. What I really want to know is, why didn't Torres continue to swim after 2000? Why come back now?
