Dara Torres

What a class act.  For those who didn't see it, the Sweden Therese Alhshammer's suit ripped right before they were supposed to race.  There was no obligation to wait for her, but Dara, who is 41, ask the others to wait and cleared it with the officials, giving her a fair chance to swim.  I love that she would do that, even though this woman was her competition.  I was even more thrilled for her to be first going into the final.

Also, congrats to Michael Phelps on medal number 7, with an amazing .01 second faster finish.  That was only the second of his races that was exciting for me to watch.
