@Whit: I'm surprised, but I think you're right. This story doesn't seem to be getting as much attention as I would have thought.

Yeah, this was a good one. And I agree, not wanting to diminish Dara Torres at all. But even if Oksana had come in tenth, this would be a great story.

I found her to be a lot more inspiring than Dara T. This is not to downplay Dara's accomplishments; however, this was a much more compelling story. She was fighting more than age.

I saw a video on this during NBC's coverage and haven't been able to find it online. Great story.
