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.

    Way to go Dara! 24:27! A sub 24 in the final, maybe?:banana:
  • Another hundredth of a second separation between gold and silver. Speedo will be needing a new face. I could look at Ms. Torres for a while. Grant Hackett silver in 1500! (does he have his own thread?) followed by Ryan Cochrane bronze; Tunisia (name I can't remember) takes gold. Tight race.

    Dara's stock really went up, not only on her chances of getting gold, but also as a person. Pretty cool how she asked the judge to wait for Therese. Very good, but that's what a mature mind does--understands the occasion. Win or lose the Swedish girl got to race and can remember that she left it in the pool...not in the locker room b/c of a busted zipper! Of course Dara may have just wanted a full race so she could undoubtedly beat them. Hey, I'm not even a yank and I'm rooting for Dara tonight!

    "Very good, but that's what a mature mind does--understands the occasion. Win or lose the Swedish girl got to race and can remember that she left it in the pool...not in the locker room b/c of a busted zupper!" Swimstud That's what I thought too. She understood what that swim would mean to the Swedish swimmer. Older folks aren't as afraid of authority...it couldn't hurt to ask.
