Dara Torres-Amazing

Certainly, you know that CB changed his opinion on this topic about a decade ago. dorothy - again, be careful of slipping into a comparison of what she is doing to your average 41 year old person. She is a pro athlete, this is her job and basically has been her job her whole life. She is not you, nothing like you, other than being a mom and a swimmer. She has fashioned her entire existence around this one item. Because I play golf on the weekend doesn't make me Greg Norman (who is leading the Open as of this morning). Unless you personally know Dara - do you know she has "fashioned her entire existence around this one item?" Sure she is going to her 5th Olympics. But she retired twice. The last time for 7 years. She raced cars. She was a media person (not focused on swimming). Based on what I have seen - swimming is a big part of her life so far. But she has been married twice, surely traveled around the world, now has a child. Hardly her entire existence.
