True Sportsmanship

Last night, as the last heat of the semi-final round of the 50 meter freestyle was to step up to the blocks, an Australian swimmer's swimsuit ripped! This could have been a huge problem for this swimmer, who is the reigning silver medalist in this event, but the American Dara Torres, saved the day! Torres ran over to the head official telling her what had happened and that they needed to postpone the race until the Australian swimmer was able to put a new swimsuit on. Torres also informed the other swimmers of what was going on and the race did not begin until the swimsuit change was made. This is an example of true sportsmanship!

Make sure to check out Dara Torres go for GOLD in the final round of this race!
