Torres has opted out of the 100 free in Beijing. Lacy Nyemer(sp?) will swim the individual event in her place.

    I don't understand, she has been working for an individual medal for years. She gets a chance to win 2 and drops out. If she could win two, she would be a hero. I smell something besides fish in the water. She has gone 53.78 for the 100 which places her 7th in the world right now for the year...she will more than likely need to drop a half a second just to medal.....with her start and turn being a known problem it's possible but not likely....where as in the 50 she has gone 24.25 which places her 5th in the world so far this year....where she only needs to drop .1 to .2 to possibly medal....granted .1 or .2 in a 50 is still pretty hard to drop at that level but it's easier than .5 in a 100 when you know your start and turn are questionable. At least that is the way I see it.....and I have been wrong before!!! :doh:
