Usa's Dana Vollmer underwent a heart surgery in 2003 and suffers from another condition that causes her heart to stop at random. Nevertheless this 24 year old fighter, who failed to qualify for the 2008 games, went on to break the American record, Olympic record, and then the world record for the 100m Butterfly events. She is the first and only women swimmer in the world who has gone under the 56s mark. Dana said she knew she could have gone even faster. Just look at that smile when she swims, she is just happy. She knows she's going to get it. Her long awaited gold. She's just happy to be doing this, happy to be alive.
