Dara Torres just keeps on swimming. The Olympic legend competed in four different olympics before she turned 40: in 1984, 1988, 1992 and 2000 (of course after a long hiatus). But she didn’t stop there, Torres competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when she was 41 years old, and anchored the 4×100-meter freestyle relay team which won the silver medal.
