Because a lot of you are looking for more Dara Torres pictures, I decided to upload more of them. This is Dara posing for Maxim Magazine.
And here’s Dara in action; swimming and training in the gym.
Dara Torres in Action and All
July 1st, 2008 — Swimming, United States
Viagra in the Olympics
July 1st, 2008 — Drugs
Psst, hey you spectator who wants to ogle at skimpily dressed male athletes, here’s a tip you should bear in mind: look out for those athletes who will be using Viagra during the Beijing Games.
What’s that again? Some athletes will be using Viagra? That’s right. Apparently some of them have used it in previous events and will, no doubt, be using it in the Olympics.
Nicolae Linca, Gold Medalist, 79

Olympian to Watch: Lithuania’s Virgilijus Alekna
July 1st, 2008 — Athletics, Discus Throw, Lithuania
Will Lithuania’s discus thrower Virgilijus Alekna bag his third Olympic gold medal? Lithuanians hope so and he’s also hoping to deliver:
“In Lithuania, most people expect me to win a third gold medal and it would be wrong to say I am going there only to take part. I am going after the highest award.”
