Steffen Wins Womens Olympic Splash and Dash

Olympics Day 8 - Swimming

The Women’s 50m Freestyle – aptly named the “splash and dash” just took place and even though Dara Torres took the silver, she sincerely looked like she was happy with her swim. Britta Steffen of Germany won gold, Torres got silver, and Cate Campbell of Australia took bronze.

I have been so impressed with Dara’s attitude and sportsmanship before her races – like yesterday when she alerted the officials that a fellow competitor had an issue with her suit. Even after the swim tonight, she immediately congratulated the winner and genuinely seemed happy to do it.
