Dara Torres was kind enough to get us into the fabled Olympic Village on Saturday before her semi-finals. It was like visiting a Super Hero academy where everyone was in their respective spandex costumes. Roughly Ten thousand of the worlds best athletes resided here in a town constructed just for them. Everywhere you turned your head there were physically perfect human specimens from every country imaginable in the world. In the mix of thousands of athletes whom did Anne and I come across? Our good friend and client, whom we set up with a pair of her own Ki-Hara Resistance Stretchers to work with her a couple of times a week,- Olympic medalist Nastia Liukin!
