The first American swimmer to compete in five Olympic Games, Dara Torres has set three world records and won 12 Olympic medals, including four gold medals. Returning to the Games for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Torres, at age 41, brought home three silver medals. In Age is Just a Number, Torres speaks frankly about diving in for her comeback, being an older athlete in a younger athlete’s game, working through pain, seizing the moment, and never giving up.
