Who else can't wait?!
Every day at the gym, I see the little NBC icon on the bottom of the screen counting down the days until 8/8/08.
It makes my feet tread harder, heart beat faster, and not just because of Michael Phelps (though I swear if he weren't so buff, he'd be a total oaf. I say bring back Thorpedo).
They'll be Russian gymnasts a plenty.
They'll be track and fielders galore.
But who cares, no big deal, I want Dara TORRes!

Incontestably, the greatest story is that of 41-year-old swimmer Dara Torres.
This is her 5th Olympics, she had a baby less than 2 years ago, she retired back in the 90s.
But thanks to her team of personal trainers (including two stretchers who mush her muscles around for 2-3 hours a day), her most genetically-predisposed-to-muscle-twitching body on the planet, she still DOMINATES.
Not only is she motivating her other 40-year-old mommies to the gym, she makes my own quads, however faintly they may resemble the definition of my former Junior Olympic volleyball days, look like BUTTA.
My favorite pre-games coverage came out of Glamour Magazine's spread entitled: "The 11 Greatest Bodies on Earth."
So here, I leave you with Mrs. Dara T herself. Go check out the article.
