Are you serious?

Point/Counterpoint: Dara Torres helping a competitor

Yes, Chris Chase. She's a maniacal genius who leapt on a torn suit to psychologically manipulate her competitors!

For serious, if the way the announcers were talking about her before the heats even began was any indication, making a big production didn't have to work to her benefit. Being Dara fucking Torres was working just fine, thankyouverymuch.

Well OF COURSE! She was totally able to just predict that there would be a way handy to psych out the competition.

Also, I don't think that was Trickett she was telling to chill out. I think it was Campbell. So, you know, he's not only wrong, but also wrong.

Exactly. Trickett wasn't even in that heat - she'd already swum. It was Campbell.
