Today’s video: The comeback "mami"

We continue this week’s video theme of the Summer Olympics with a look at U.S. swimmer Dara Torres. At the age of 41, the Latina mother of one qualified against all odds to the Beijing games after breaking several U.S. records during qualifiers. Torres will become part of an exclusive group of athletes to compete in five Olympics and she will be the oldest swimmer ever to compete in the Games.
