The 41-year-old mom won the 100 meters; she id the oldest US swimmer ever of both genders. It'll be her fifth Olympics. She set out 2, which the swimming announcers say she could have made. So we could be talking about her 7th Olympics (maybe Michael Phelps will do that; he's so good). Never mind that- coulda, shoulda, woulda; I think Dara is inspiring. I wish I had her discipline and I would apply even half of it to my writing career.

I really do salute people like that
Such discipline & determination are very rare nowadays. Indeed an inspiration for many

i watched it! she did fantastic! and even though after the turn-around she comes up almost immediatly (old-school style lol) she STILL beat out Coughlin!
oh i was fighting back tears, i dont even know the woman, dont recall ever hearing about her before, but just the short little story about her that was on the news earlier had me SO PROUD of her when she made it LOL!
