The olympics are just around the corner and they mark four years of relatively low amounts of crying at sports. Thats almost the truth considering that I cry at NFL montages, commercials, anything involving troops, and throw improbably sport victories in there and I'm practically a basket case. Well I opened today so I had some time to read the news. Here is my teary eyed moment of the morning:
Dara Torres' eyes were watery and not from just having climbed out of the pool. She was crying at the cheers from 13,247 fans who saw the 41-year-old mother complete her improbable Olympic comeback.
Torres became the oldest American swimmer ever on an Olympic team. She'll be the oldest female swimmer at the Games since 44-year-old Brenda Holmes of Canada in 1972.
After the race, Torres' cell phone was clogged with 115 messages, texts and calls
Yes, I was a basket case.
