"Everybody looks good at the starting line."

I did jump and shout each time Michael Phelps won. They were magic moments. I remember when Mark Spitz won in 1972, I had just moved to Fort Smith , Arkansas (one year out of college). This (2008) was much bigger because we have such great access to the Games and they are bigger than back then. That said: My favorite in the games this year is Dara Torres.
If you watched how she interacted with her competitors, the officials and the media, you saw a unique person. Her spirit, her attitude and all was out of sight. She is one confident and comfortable person. She finished well!

Michael won a gold by .01 of a second. She lost Gold by .01 of a second. Both are winners.
