Dara Torres On Her Olympic Silver Lining

 
BEIJING, China -- "Is there a silver lining to the silver medal?" Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson asked Dara Torres, following the two silver medals she won at her finals on Sunday. "That's a good analogy," Dara replied. "The silver lining is that there's nothing that I could have changed. My coach said I swam the perfect race and I broke the American record. I did my best time by a couple tenths of a second, which is a lot in a 50, so I have to be happy with a silver medal." Mother... Olympian... Role model - Dara is all of these things, and more. More of her post-Olympics experience, inside. (link)
