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

I have to agree it's a little selfish. The fact that there's very little chance she could medal in the 100 does take some of the edge off it. The fact remains the U.S. team's number one seed in the 100 free doesn't want to swim it because it might tire her out.
So I guess the moral of the story is, unless you are prepared to swim the event at the Olympics, don't swim it at trials.
I can see the selfish side of the argument, but is it really so bad that she wants to swim the best 50 she can? :dunno:
