Fearless

Dara Torres

Dara Torres made headlines last week at the Olympic swimming trials, and she's hot in Web search — especially with results like this photo of her in a swimsuit. But our fascination with Torres doesn't stop there.

At 41, Torres will make history in Beijing. She'll be the oldest female swimmer in the history of the Games and the first U.S. swimmer to compete in five Olympics. She's a mom of a 2-year-old girl and has come out of retirement several times over the course of her long career. Yet she always ends up back on the medal podium.

Popular searches for Torres turn up even more. We search for information on her record-breaking swim times— the first when she was 14 — and her battle with bulimia in college. Then there's her stint as a swimsuit model, her work as a motivational speaker and her devotion to resistance stretching, which helps keep her in amazing shape.

Torres has proven herself a keen competitor both in the pool and out. She once appeared on the game show "Pyramid." She also won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach … as a race car driver.

This gives inspiration to me that mature humans can compete on a world class level!
