Well, there are always "people of age" in the Olympics, but usually in things like sailing and equestrian events and shooting. But this year, there are "old ladies" in some of the events usually dominated by the youngsters.
Yesterday, they showed swimming events in which 43-year-old Dara Torres won not one, but two silver medals in sprint events. Lisa Leslie, about 35, has been a leader in women's basketball in this Olympics, as well as in at least two previous games. And tonight, when there are questions as to whether or not some of the Chinese gymnasts are younger than the required 16 years of age, one of the medals in the vault was won by a 33-year-old woman on the German team.
We've always known that the old ladies were crafty, cunning, and smart. But we (at least some of us) are showing that we've still got some physical stuff left.
Don't mess with us!
Lisa Leslie
