Pop Culture Fiend: Shout Out to... Dara Torres!

Dara Torres is a 42 year old (as of yesterday) American swimmer, and the the only swimmer to compete (and medal) in five Olympic Games (1984, 1988, 1992, 2000, and 2008.) Last year, after eight years in retirement, she made an amazing comeback and won both the 50 and 100 meter freestyle at the US National Championships and at the Olympics in Beijing, Torres won three silver medals. (And to boot, she has the sickest abs on a 40+ year old woman you'll ever see.)

Torres attributes her longstanding success to her unique training regimen, which she discusses in her new book, Age is Just a Number: Achieve Your Dreams at Any Age that was released last week.
