Tara, so GREAT to hear of the support you are receiving! I guess it is always important to remember what is MOST important, that is the support of your friends and family and of course one’s health! The emotional roller coaster ride is not one you signed up for, but with grace and dignity you have survived the ride. albeit w/o the support of USA Swimming. I am sure you would have even more emails of support, but since Universal Sports have changed their web address and format, it is a little tricky to find your blog! We are enjoying supporting Team USA in Beijing, but we do think of you and know this is where we should be seeing you. We know in the end something GOOD will come of this….if only now we had the crystal ball to know what that will be. But, we DO know is it will be MOST beneficial for YOU!

Ugh!

Tara - I saw you on What Not to Wear and made a mental note to watch for you in the Olympics. I did a quick search online to see when you’d be competing. Sorry to find you subject to this rotten twist of fate.

Don’t cave. Follow-up on whatever avenues of recourse that may be available to you.

If the Olympics are your dream, get back in the pool. We’ll remember you in 4 yrs, we will support you and will love the human interest around your victories.

These prizes are rightfully yours. Delayed but not denied.

Best wishes.

This post shows how gracious and warm you are during such a difficult time. What has happened to you in the past couple of weeks has been tremendously difficult and I think you have been wronged. As you so eloquently put it, the beauty of swimming is that it is a black and white sport. You got the third best time and so when the first best time was disqualified, you should have been allowed to compete.

I am just an average American who loves watching the olympics and I recognize the injustice with which you have been treated. I admire you very much for your attitude throughout this ordeal and I hope you know that even though you have been unjustly denied the right to compete in this olympics, you are still inspiring average Americans like myself with your gracious attitude. The ability to have a good attitude during bad times is the hallmark of a good athlete.
