She wanted to know where she could find a good sushi bar after the race.

No, the girl in lane two (Therese Alshammar from Sweden) ripped her suit and was trying to get a new one on. These suits usually take 20 minutes to put on. She alerted the main referee and then told the other competitors what was going on and to relax until Therese came out of the locker room.

1.) What composure from this woman. (Did you notice how relaxed she was in the 'bull pen' when she was having a conversation with her competitors? Amazing)
2.) Great sportsmanship
3.) Great focus once she got in the pool.

Dara Torres is an amazing woman and it makes one proud to be American!

Enjoy!
