ABC News Profile of Dara Torres
Dara Torres profiled here with some meet videos and underwater stuff as well. Her freestyle technique is very graceful to watch and she has a great pull. To my eye she has both the flexibility and reaction time of an 18-year-old which adds even more equity to her swims.
I gotta start doing yoga. I am about as flexible as welded rebar submerged in a slab of concrete. That is going to change.
If she makes the Olympic team, which looks pretty promising, Dara will be the media focal point of the womens team.

Ok, I pimped your link, but I wish you wouldn't have posted anonymously.
I posted it because in the "About Us" section of the site, it includes stretching exercises pro bono with photos etc. That is good enough for me to do a blog post about it.
Perhaps you're really Dara Tores, her rep, or somebody working for the link I pimped? I don't know, the context of your identity would have helped. Anytime someone posts anonymously with a link I usually reject it. I did it once this morning all ready for an abs exercise site.
And if you are Dara Torres, do you know how much sh*t I got for linking to Scott at Cannuck Swimmer over his assumptions you are doping? I got 2-half-hour phone calls from the same person, f-you mail, and cold shoulders. Consider the link and the upcoming blog post a favor. And I am still keeping Cannuck Swimmer in my link list.
I think Dara Torres is a beast of an athlete and person. Her focus and dedication is stunning... I don't believe she's doping, though I can understand those who suspect it. I'm especially intrigued by her stretching routine... There are whole articles about it all over the internet.
