A Middle-Aged Olympian

The XXIX Olympiad begins this Friday with opening ceremonies in Beijing. Every middle-aged woman and man will have their eyes on 41-year old American Olympian swimmer, Dara Torres. Her comeback story is downright Olympic! Not only did she qualify for the U.S. Swim Team, but she set a record in the process. Harry Smith of CBS News recently interviewed her regarding her appearance at a record 5th Olympic games. She was 17 when she appeared in her first Olympiad in 1984!

Go Dara, Go U.S. Team! To see the video interview just click the CBS link above. Sorry about the 30-second commercial that comes before it.
