So how many will she win? Doesn't matter for this question whether they're gold, silver, or bronze. Doesn't matter for this question whether it's an individual or relay team medal. Just how many will she take home?
Question will suspend on August 10, the first day of swimming competitions...not sure if any of hers will be completed by then. Jist want to leave it open as the interest builds for the Olympic Games.

With the Olympics coming up, wouldn't it be good to have a category for the Olympics under the Sports heading?
Whatcha think?
Jul 25, 9:33 AM (ET)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -Dara Torres' swim coach is traveling to the National Institutes of Health instead of training camp in Singapore after being diagnosed with a rare, potentially fatal blood disorder.
Michael Lohberg says he's suffering from aplastic anemia. He told The Miami Herald late Thursday that "it's really, really bad," and that doctors have told him he might only have days to live.
The disorder causes bone marrow to stop producing enough new blood cells. Treatment can include blood transfusions or a bone marrow transplant.
The 58-year-old coach planned to take a friend's private plane to the NIH in Maryland early Friday.
Torres and seven other Olympic swimmers from five other countries train under Lohberg in South Florida.
Also, she may only be competing in 2 or 3 events at the most...even though she qualified for 5, including relays, I think I saw that she wasn't going to compete in all 5...so everyone might take that into consideration when making selections....
BTW, in watching her last night, if her teammates had been as good as her, USA would have had gold instead of silver...She's got a really good shot at 3 medals...
"Her remaining event is her best, the 50-meter freestyle coming later this week."
