Age is Meaningless, Part 9

Dara Torres just won the silver medal in the 50 meter freestyle. She nearly won, losing by less than a second. Oh, and don't forget, she's 41.


She followed that up by winning a silver as she swam the anchor leg of the 4 by 100 medley relay.

SI
wrote a nice piece about her, noting that her time of 52.27 in the relay was the fastest split ever in a women's medley relay.

Here and here are my previous posts about her.

When asked by NBC afterwards what she'd tell her 2-year-old, she said, "Never put an age limit on your dreams."

Amen to that.
