Hell, yeah. You go, girl!
Amazing, and her swimming is good also!
ReplyDeleteCha. I for one would not looking like that particular athlete! She is HAWT!
ReplyDeleteYeah for "old" ladies...
ReplyDelete(But Rowdie Gaines spent WAY too much time on the fact that she is 41 in my opinion. Older women CAN and DO some pretty amazing things and look great doing it!)
PS I want her ab routine! wow!
She is so awesome! But there really should be a law against looking that good at 41. More power to her-I hope she wins everything!
ReplyDeleteTorres is awesome!!!! I want to swim just like her someday!!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing and I hope she kicks some ass in Bejing.
ReplyDeleteGives us "certain age-ers" a lot of cred....
She is indeed amazing -- and very competetive. And proof that athletes don't need to "retire" at a "certain age."
ReplyDeleteshe is a superstud. she now goes on my list of awesome women/mommies who are also superduper athletes - along with Maya Pederson, who won a gold for Women's Skeleton during the last winter olympics.
ReplyDeletethe world needs more superheroes.
man, she is ripped!
Isn't she incredible? I read a recent article. I know she's plagued by steroid allegations, and I'm inclined to believe her. I hope it's true. Marion Jones vehemently denied steroid use too and look what happened with her. I believe her though, I just hope I'm not proven wrong some day.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing woman. To have the focus to compete at that level for so many years is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteCount me in the "fingers crossed that this is natural and legit" crowd. I'll be cheering her on....don't let me down.
ReplyDeleteshe's my new hero, and her arms are particularly AMAZING (the rest of her is too, but I'm in awe at her arms)
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone BUT I hope she doesn't give everyone who is 40-something and not a super-duper-ripped six-pack-of-steel yet another reason to feel bad about our softer slower bodies, which are also awesome!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW!!! I love her!!!
ReplyDeleteGod she's stunning - if only.....
ReplyDeleteI loved watching the race. OMG. I just stared in amazement. Did you see the finish when she put the medal around her daughter's neck!
ReplyDeleteIt was just perfect!
She. Just. Rocks!
