"You don't have to let age limit your dreams."
Dara Torres, after winning two silver medals in swimming tonight at age 41 at the Olympics.
I like that!

She's amazing! Such a great role model :-) Michael Phelps is cool and all, but he's also 23...I'm not quite sure that he could be doing the same stuff at 41.
She's absolutely right! I will never make the Olympics, but my husband and I are passionate ice-skaters, even though we are in our mid-fifties. In fact, at one stage my husband was both British and French champion - for the oldest age group and lowest level!
If you do a sport, then go for it and have fun with it, no matter how old you are.
Are your skates red?
No, but I do have red boot-covers; when I was new to the sport, I bought them and always wore them so that people who didn't know my name would think of me as "The woman with the red boot-covers" rather than "the fat woman who can't skate". And it sort of stuck....
When I watched her win last night, I couldn't help but be amazed. And when she said that line about telling her daughter not to let her dreams not be based on age, I thought to myself- that's a really good point. I wish we all lived life that way..myself included. I wonder how different our world (and our churches) would be.
Yes she is amazing. But you can tell swimming is one of her passions no doubt about it. I say more power to anyone who trains as she has at 41.
She sure has a story to tell her Daughter when she is old enough to understand.
Michael Phelps that to was pretty awsome to reach that goal at such a young age.
She is indeed an amazing competitor as well as a model of great sportsmanship. A joy to watch!
the age might not limit me, but the aging body is playing havoc!
