41 Year Old sets American record in 50 freestyle!
The 41-year-old Torres won the 50-meter freestyle Sunday night with another American record, giving her the chance to swim two individual events in Beijing.
She’s already done what no one thought possible, returning from her second retirement - and just two years removed from having a child - to reclaim her place as America’s most dominant female sprinter. She’ll be the oldest American ever to swim at the Olympics, but she wants so much more.
“I can’t sit here and lie and say, ‘Oh, I’m just glad I’m going,”’ said Torres, who’ll be in her fifth Olympics. “I want a medal.”
Having already won the 100m free Friday, Torres got off to the third-slowest start in the most frenetic lap in swimming. But she was in control midway through, touching in 24.25 seconds to eclipse the mark of 24.38 she set the previous night in the semifinals.
